man, i thought i was the only person to ever hear of the illuminati. there's actually a book (obviously titled "The Illuminati") that i first heard about in college. my roomate had the book, and i remember telling my father about it, and he damn near cut my throat. he's a big believer in all of that illuminati stuff. i read a few chapters of the book, but it's EXTREMELY weird, and the guy rambles a lot. supposedly, the writer of the book was "mysteriously" killed or missing (i never researched it..just word of mouth). do you guys remember when barrack and hillary had that "secret" meeting after she dropped out of the races? lol, my dad swears they met with illuminati leaders. there are a lot of well praised...wealthy...corrupt...indiviuals in the world...i call their groups "government." whether they have some other secret group beyond that...i don't know, and don't really want to know. it's kinda like one of those "don't ask...don't tell..." situations....like if someone gives you a brand new 50" plasma for $100 bux, and it's in a box and works....you're pretty sure you know how they got it, but don't really care enough to ask.
