But cinder blocks are..
True Cinder blocks definitely are, they lose memory over time.
But cinder blocks are..
I am wondering about the "bubble" that truthers live in. For sure people seem to gravitate to what they already believe in... for some confirmation and affirmation of their world view.
Are some, many or no truthers looking into the non CD explanations? There are websites that discuss non CD explanations for the collapse of the WTC.
If they do explore the non CD information... are they dismissing it as "lies" or some form or cover up/deception? How do they dismiss "science"... and engineering?
I don't see "truthers" aside from GerryCan and TSzamboti on these sites and they don't appear to land an punches in the fight for truth. Both these fellas are intelligent and able to understand the engineering. Why do they remain truthers? Why are they not convinced by the scientific arguments?
And if people like Gerry and Tony remain truthers.... is there any hope for the lay person truther to "see the light".
What is the fundamental reason that truthers are not "getting" the science? Gage seems to be simply an narcissist who is exploiting people for money.... classic grifter. He may not even believe his own nonsense but if people are dumb enough to send him money he carries on the fiction. But maybe he is in the same bubble of ignorance.
What say you?
That is to say I don't think that they are in a bubble of ignorance because they don't actually believe what they are sayingI don't think that they actually believe what they are saying, so I think they are in any bubble of ignorance.
I don't imagine they take all the anti-NYT messages on that billboard too seriously.Excellent work. I hope it's actionable under current libel law.

Your OP informed us that AE911 solicited donations to cover costs of $17,000 for this billboard.

And since it is a digital board their ad probably isn't even on all the time, just one of a series of ads showing one after the other.$17,000? But it's TINY!
There are pictures in fonebone's link. Truly comical futility, and, as you say Oystein, it would be good to know how much that little postage stamp really cost.
Follow the money, that's what they keep telling us, isn't it?![]()

The billboard is constructed of vinyl impregnated fabric and tied to the building wall with grommets and elastic cordage tied to metal tie-downs
clamps fastened into the building masonry brickwork. The images and words are ink-jet printed onto the fabric and cured with Ultra Violet Light
to fix the colors images and text from sunlight and weather.
