I miss the days when conspiracy theories were fun and not society-destroying monsters.

Also, The Man Who Saw Tomorrow is my favorite "Starring Orson Welles as his weirdo self" flick.

I miss the days when government leaders did not believe conspiracy theories.

I saw one at the theater about bigfoot called "The Legend of Boggy Creek" that came out in 1972. This thing totally turned me off to the entire genre. Not one shot of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or the Fouke Monster in the whole thing.

All I remember about it now are long, very long, too long scenes of swamp and farmland.

Ah, yes, I fondly recall watching "In Search of…" as a kid, how half the books at the Scholastic book fairs were about Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, and so on. It seems my childhood was filled with that and the Choose Your Own Adventure books.

But I have even fonder memories of being a young teen, and how an astrophysicist named Carl Sagan exposed me to the truer wonders of the universe we live in.
