I just looked up the book "Them" and I will have to give it a read. It seems like it would be pretty eye-opening since it was published just a few months after 9/11.

Also, what does the badge mean? I see them all the time, but I rarely post so this is a first for me.

It's got some crazy shit to say about Ruby Ridge. Mostly it illustrates that paranoia has common roots, no matter who your boogeyman is, but it also points out that sometimes we're the paranoids.

The badge means I wanted to give your post extra emphasis so that more people would see it. Badges are earned, as opposed to votes, so they're not as readily available.
