Conspiracy Theories

I wonder why it is that conspiracy theories abound in modern society. I wonder why so many people find it easy to believe that the government or some other powerful organization is capable of doing things that the law cannot touch, as though the law is only to curb the masses and don't apply at all to the rich and powerful. This is a big contradiction to the very core of democracy which states that power emanates from the people. The government is supposed to be the guardian of the law and yet people are wary of the government and consider it to be a dangerous force not to be trifled with. In simpler times, people had no illusions about those in power and never dared to stick their noses in politics.

The sad fact regarding democracy is that people are considered supreme only during elections only to be trampled upon once the politician comes into power. This is a confusing affair and my simple brain cannot compute these data properly. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has never been satisfactorily explained even though the U.S. Government has decreed that a lone gunman did it. Someone somewhere knows the truth and believers in conspiracy theories believe the truth is still out there.
