Once upon a time, many years ago, I was a member. Got busy with life. Forgot my password. Forgot my username. And here I am. I may or may not be
the illigitimate son of a certain Simon Gray, but he refused to meet me, my Mother, and Maury Povich to discuss the matter. Ok, to be honest I
totally lied and made up that last sentence. To the best of my knowledge I have never met Simon Gray or any staff or owners from ATS. I find myself
scoffing at mainstream bombastic hokum that is usually pandered here in America via mainstream media and "news" agencies. ATS has been proven and
known for years to be an inviting and welcoming place for members willing to entertain and discuss in a civil manner topics usually ignored and even
shunned by many.
I sincerely believe there is a part of our mind, consciousness, or spirit (whaterver you want to call it) that wants and strives to be honest with
ourselves, and holds integrity in the highest regard. I believe there is a part of our subconscious that efforts to remain honest with ourselves and
reject malformed logic, misinformation, and the like. Truthful information/integrity, honest emotions, and humor are core values I will look for when
choosing who my friends *are on ATS. I've been reading ATS for about a decade now, and am familiar with many usernames and members.
My name is John. I will be 40 by the end of the year. I am retired(ish). I know some stuff about some stuff.
And here I am. I like Stars.
