You see the ATS lately as a UFO garbage bin, too?
I see it as a "Let's-make-up-as-many-threads-as-possible-without-using-SEARCH!" site now.
I see copies of the threads popping up on a daily basis.
Seems to me the recent influx of non-conspiracy based thread is irritating.
Not too far back, I would open ATS and see interesting threads on a daily, if not hourly, basis.
Things worth flagging and adding to.
But, those threads are numbered.
Back to your point.
I fully agree and understand your post.
We should be focusing on the things around us, not what's supposedly in the sky right now.
There needs to be more focus on why the US gets taxed like it does.
Focus on things like:
Where all of our jobs will be in 5 years.
Where all of the money is going to come from to pay for the debt our gov't has produced.
Why we haven't fired
everyone in Congress right now.
If anyone paid attention to what is taking place in D.C. on a daily basis, I think that the country would revolt.
BUT there are SO many distractions, i.e., sports, TV, 'UFOS', etc...
The general population is apathetic.
They are too worried about making money rather than finding out where it's going.
Sometimes I feel that when the POTUS said he will end 'theories', he was right.
Just flood all the sites with new people and garbage information, plus a side of distraction...
You get exactly what they want.
Sleight of hand.
