All this chit chat here on ATS....about every thing and nothing, religions to reptilians, aliens and music...but what does it mean?
Are we a society of key board warriors in love with blogging our opinions but keeping ever so quite in daily life...hiding behind our IP addresses?
I believe, and I may stand alone in this opinion **hint hint** that all this blogging on the net, is just a means of keeping our mouths shut and
writing on a giant cyber wall of useless opinions. We all talk of great injustice yet, no one cares or listens. Once upon a time, you would have to
write a book or publish a journal to get heard. This meant studying, gaining credibility and basic literary skills. OR you could just stand on the
street corner yelling and screaming with your arms waving in the air hoping some one will come to your aid before you get arrested.
Is ATS, or we here on ATS and other millions of net blogger's just the screaming crazy man on the street corner?

It's shared internal dialog. It's more honest and it's more conducive to reason. Ideas are weighed based on their own merit, and the process is
less encumbered by the prejudice of appearance or knowledge of social rank.

hey, wait a minute. It's a gift. You can open it, give it back, return it. Or you can bash it into pieces if you want to. It is what it is. Use it or
not. People are giving their ideas to you for free.
