Conspiracy Theories and Me

My new found love these days- Conspiracy Theories!!
Be it on television or books, all i look for is a Conspiracy theory!

Wikipedia's definition of a Conspiracy Theory- "Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any conspiracy claim. However, it has come almost exclusively to refer to any theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful Machiavellian conspirators, such as a "secret team" or "shadow government", rather than broad social forces and large structures of human collectivities".

My favourite conspiracy theories have been-The death of Princess Diana, the mysterious disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the assassination of JFK, The Kennedy family curse,apocalyptic theories, Bible conspiracy theories, the death of Marilyn Monroe, 9/11, criminal investigation conspiracy theories and many many more!!!
One theory which i follow the most and have done some exclusive researching has been the death of Princess Diana.

Criminal investigation conspiracies have been my childhood favourites! I remember growing up watching "Investigation discovery" on Discovery channel and dreaming of becoming a Forensic expert someday :) sounds surreal but I still do watch the show and the role of a Forensic scientist fascinates me the same! What a challenging job that would be- everyday would be a new day at work. And every case as distinct as the other.

I do get chided at times for watching too much of these, nevertheless i watch them undeterred. It captivates my imagination to an extent that I often find myself wedged over these topics on google,looking for more information for my personal study. Well, I'm not trying to make a career out of it, but what damage has any extra-knowledge done to humanity? :)
