I see a bunch of economic, Bush, McCain, and Obama talk in this forum.  What if all of it was just a front and there really was an organization like The Patriots from the Metal Gear Solid series who controlled everything.

 How would this change your view of the government? 9/11? Iraq? The Economy?

 Would Bush haters stop hating him?

and Vice Versa with Obama/Hillary haters?

 Does anybody else think its possible and organization like The Patriots could exhist?

Who needs the Patriots.  We have the Stonecutters.

I haven't played MGS, so I'm just assuming their your regular old secretly controlling the world with a happy face organization.

In that case, I think it is possible, but highly unlikely. Actually, It is nearly impossible, unless penny's actually track DNA, and florescent lights control our brains!

 +1 for the Simpsons reference.
