Hello ATS!

Now I'm going to tell you off the bat, straight out of my hypothetical starting gate here on ATS, that I have rarely encountered web forums relating to the subjects within with such maturity, respect, and logic as Abovetopsecret.com does. Whether or not you believe the stories told here is not even relevant when you look at the time, consideration, and overall healthy skepticism we all share in a time where truth is so distorted, its sometimes impossible to determine what is correct and what is a load of bull.

I'm 19 years old, turning 20 this Novemeber, Ive completed high school, taken a few basic math classes beyond, and currently am in the process in deciding what my aspirations really are, and where I would like to take my education. Outside eyes might see me as a slacker (I sometimes consider it at times), but I make sure to earn my keep around my home: (my friends tease me for still doing chores for my folks, but in all honesty I am just happy to help)

Anyway without dragging on too much through this intro, I'd like to say a few words about my own personal reasons for getting involved with the site. Like many I was lead here by John Lear, and his numerous interviews on Coast to Coast radio. However since John sent me here only three or four days ago, I have been following links here to other sites with more information then I could have ever asked for. I never was very receptive to high school curriculum, yet find it easy to open my mind to information expressed here then anywhere else. I guess thats what happens when open minded people outnumber the debunkers, eh?

But to close, I'd like to personally thank all of the anonymous souls scattered through this forum for their riveting tales and senseless need to know more about our world, one that I'm sad to realize, we are kept very much in the dark about

Welcome to the home of truth and knowledge (with just a little crazy added to the mix).

Always think before you post...there's some sharp minds to be found here, and they can sniff out the BS faster than a bloodhound. Enjoy your stay, and I'll see you in the pit.

You're actually in a fairly similar position to me right now, education wise I mean. Good luck and really think about where you're going, now's such an important time after all but nothing is ever too late. Once you know what you want though, just go for it. No regrets.

Anyway, welcome to ATS AnonLee!
