Alpaca, it's not only the internet I sometimes question, but history books as well. How do we know that people have written the truth about how things happened in the past? No one alive today was there when Columbus arrived in the Americas.
After coming out the WT, I've learned to question almost everything. I'm not paranoid about everything, but I don't easily accept everything either, without researching it first.
I thought about Orwell's 1984 as well, when I read your first post..
