theski has PM'd me this purposal, which I humbly pass to the members of the Senate.

There's merit in that idea. We've had countless threads over the Moon Conspiracy as well

Include a link to steve jackson's games "Illuminati" if I can create a more plausable sounding conspiracy wiht a hand of Illuminati cards, and madlibs it's prettywell debunked.

If the showcase "Hall of Honor" forum gets passed, we could quite possibly put a thread or two in there about it, if such threads could be found.

well it's a hobby for me since my father is a rabid kennedy conspiracy nut.

I support this idea and have had PM's from constituents supporting it as well. If anything at all, a lot of these should (if they are not already) in the links sticky, in SLAM.

I received the following PM from one of my loyal constituents:

I like the idea, I think it could be cooler if instead of just links to refutation sites, it was given a similar format as the "answering dr dino" thread, with short, memorable soundbite style refutations and links to third party sites as support. I liked the spirit of that Kent Hovind thread, be cool to have it again.

I also would support the idea of having short homegrown refutations as well as links to refutation sites.

This is worthy of further examination.
