What political issues i care about

One of the political issues that interests me more than most is Government conspiracies. I do not usually believe in them but i find them very intriguing and I will look into them.  One of the biggest conspiracy theories is focused on this very day 9-11 10 years ago when the planes took out the towers.  Many people believe the government was behind it and knew what was going on the whole time.  I am not dispelling this theory but i do find it hard to believe that our own government would do that to its own people.  But then again the government is capable of pretty much anything.
