Reply #6: I too, was uninformed back in 2001

I wasn't a Bush lover or hater back then. I was pretty indifferent. Yes, I'm ashamed as well. When 911 happened I still believed the things my government told me. Hell, in the very early days of Homeland Security, I remember taking the whole "buy duct tape and plastic sheeting to help in the event of an attack" thing seriously. I didn't actually go out and do it, but I still thought the threats were real.

I don't know when the light bulb went on. Somewhere along the line I started questioning the events of 911 and the official story. That lead to web searches about the subject and my eyes opened up for the very first time. I started learning about PNAC and Operation Northwoods and it was like a tidal wave hit me. Not to sound too corny, but it was like the movie the Matrix, where I felt like I had been living in a dream world and all of a sudden I saw that I had been lied to and it pissed me off to no end.

Eventually I found DU, and I keep on learning and learning and learning. And questioning. ALWAYS question the powers that be.
