I think critical thinking is a good thing. Don't assume everything the government tell you is true, they have their own agendas. And the truth is rarely on the top of their priority lists.

In fact, studies have shown that two thirds of what the government tells you is untrue.

The reason for some conspiracy theories: Conspiracies.

http://www.cracked.com/article_20274_th ... tions.html

I think the Shell oil one, where the accusers were discounted as conspiracy theorist, only to be vindicated with absolute proof of truth, should warn anyone not to summarily discount a theory, simply because it has not been proven.

That being said, it does not mean one should summarily believe a theory that has not been proven either.
