Greetings ATS, pleased to be here

Hello,
I've been cruising your amazing website for a few years now, and I just have to thank you all, big time. I never thought I'd have something to give back to the community, as I'm neither that bright, nor enlightened.
So we'll soon find out if my input is worth something.

Allow me to explain a few things about myself :
I come from a rather normal French family, in which every male died from alcohol poisoning before turning 60.
I'd say Rage against the Machine, Noam Chomsky and Bill Still taught me English.
Empathy is one of the only driving-force behind my actions and thoughts, I cannot stand human and non-human suffering, it actually brought me down physically a few times.
I have been involved in many revolutionary/social movements, in which I never guided, nor followed, just listened.
I closely read books and watch documentaries that make it on major torrent trackers.
And I love you all.
Peace.

Welcome to ATS. We have quite the diverse community here. I too lurked before joining. Looking forward to your input and threads.

Welcome to ATS!
