Hello ATS;
I have been reading, grinning, frowning, laughing, dismayed and other feelings on this site for quite some time. I became a member a few months ago.
I enjoy ATS, and other similar websites as a person who does not ignore current relevant events nationally and internationally, and one who is more
than a little concerned.
I am a prepper, but not paranoid (My wife and I take three cruise or international holidays per year). I enjoy firearms, Photovoltaics, food storage
and preparedness, but I also pay my taxes and bills in a timely fashion without cringing too much. I feel that we as a society allow a great deal of
what the government and associated entities do to us only because the majority of the population are lemmings and don't know any better. I live in
Canada which (I feel) is simply an annex of the United States at this point even though it appears we govern ourselves.
There seems to be many, many, intelligent, well informed and conscientious members here at ATS which makes for great reading and debate. I typically
ignore the craziness and skip over it; There is enough excellent content and a wide variety of topics to keep informed and well read.
Thanks ATS for providing this type of forum.
