New member in San Francisco

Hello ATS members. I have been browsing the forums section of the site for about a week. I logged on as a result of my recent interest in earthquakes here in SF. While I've only lived here for about 2yrs, a week or so ago, I started to get concerned (not going into that here) . . .so I logged on here! Why???

Earlier this year, I started reading a number of books by Jim Marrs, James Bamford, Joseph Farrell, Erich Von Daniken, and the like . . .

Personally, I am a firm believer in looking at alternative sides of any issue of importance. It absolutely fascinates me that multiple sets of people can observe the same set of "facts" and develop an entire portfolio of conclusions.

In my opinion, while the "alternative theory" is not always right, the "mainstream theory" is rarely 100% on the mark. Sometimes its flat-out wrong. Without a community in which bright thinkers can test alternative theories / explanations (without any concern about getting "shot down"), how can any group, community, or organization expect to advance?

So . . here I am! Thanks for having me, and I look forward to a productive dialogue.

?? I've lived in SF for almost 20 years, what earthquakes? I would steer clear of Daniken, Childress, and the rest of the "Ancient Aliens" gang since they're just making a business out of their "theories."

Anyway, welcome!

Greetings and welcome to the site. San Francisco looks so cool, ive loved it since i saw Mrs Doubtfire.
