Re: Anti-Doom Thread --
Zorgon,
Given the incedible effort spent replying to my post, I feel compelled to respond. Let me be incredibly brief, and hopefully not too blunt.
There are a great number here on this forum who think that 90% of this material is utter rubbish. Planet X, dragons, the NWO, reptilian conspiracies, etc. carry about as much truth in their minds as say, the tooth fairy, or supply side economic theory. The corruption, violence, and exploitation that has plagued us as a species has become so ordinary that some will latch on to any theory that could potentially alter our situation right down to its very core - no matter how fantastical or absurd.
With that being said, all of us are here because of that other 10% - the stuff that can't be explained as swamp gas and weather balloons. While we cannot prepare for our sun going nova, or a planetary collision, there are potentialites that we can prepare for. Natural and man-made disasters await us, whatever form one chooses to believe they will take, so why not be prepared for that which can be prepared for?
I take issue with your last post - you insinuate that discussing preparedness and potentialites is tantamount to wishing for the doom and gloom. Since you were quoting my post, I have no choice but to assume that was aimed at me directly. I'll go on the record again - as I have stated this numerous times - I hope I am wrong in my belief that having some form of survival knowledge will be essential to the coming times. I have never wanted to be wrong so badly. But, you know, I just can't shake the feeling that something dreadful is headed down the pike - something unprecedented - that will radically redefine how we all live our everyday lives. Many here, as kooky as their beliefs may seem, feel it too. And by the way, isn't that the point behind Avalon? Networking for preparedness? This site wasn't created to swap stock tips or bread recipies - it was created as an organizational tool for the Ground Crew.
If I'm wrong, I'll get to have one helluva' yard sale.
If I'm right, I might just be able to make a positive impact on the world and the people around me.
If the planet explodes, then I'll just be.
Peace, love, and funny colors,
The HistoryCircus
