[quote:Anonymous Coward 22234648:MV8yMjIyMzg2XzM3NjY3MDg4XzlERUI4RjI5] I was raised to think for myself and not to follow "the crowd." I've always felt like an outsider looking in... The election of our President in 2008 was the catalyst that drew me into a more conspiratorial mind frame. I could not understand why the majority would vote for someone they knew nothing about. It was clear his image and history was created by mainstream media. I am a staunch individualist, and my assumption was that all Americans were of a similar mind frame. Why would we want a representative that places the collective above the individual? It is counter-intuitive to self preservation. "Something must be up" was my general thought at that time. Then: I came across a book called The Unseen Hand. Down the rabbit hole I went. [/quote]

I've been trying to remember what event it was for me...
While I'm trying to remember, I'd be interested in reading your stories. Do you remember what event it was that turned you CT? The more details, the better.
