SimpleTruth,
As I stated before, there is no one on this thread, to-date, that can speak for the "founding fathers" of ATS, or the ATS community as a whole.
I understand what you are asking. And I speculate that it is along the lines of the "matrix" thinking or such. That no matter what haven we seek
from our fears, our concerns, our paranoias...that haven may be "them".
I do not agree with that thinking. I do not, and will not, assume that because you asked this question you actually feel/think it. I speculate you
asked based on the curiousity of discussion; speculation.
Skeptics - from both sides of the conspiracy realm are well valued. Skeptics can be best defined as those who look at the theories presented and
attempt to tear them apart. I feel that your originating post was a look into this area.
Any person, whether pro or con on a subject, loses his value to the discussion when his "theory" becomes an obsession and dismisses reason and fact.
I do not dismiss your question...unless you sink into the realm of obsession concerning it.
