[QU**OTE=PreciousDust;8553719]When an epic conspiracy makes as much sense as any of the other explanations, start considering an epic conspiracy.[/QUOTE]
I'll almost always agree that I may be wrong, so I ask myself what's probable a whole lot. Running off into a place that from the outside doesn't look like a place that can take your life, but certainly can, all because your brain just told you,"they're out to get you, get the F*#! out of here", make's way more sense and looks far more probable than either an organized, or alternately barely associated, group of guys all interested in capturing, torturing and killing e-sex workers, while operating out of a small and close knit community with either impunity because of fear of staining the area's reputation, or with such stealth that no one has seen or heard anything about it over years of covert meetings even though it involves several prominent area members, some of whom are KNOWN to talk up a blue streak about what is, and what may not even be close to going on in their life. You are going to see thing through your eyes and with your prejudice, and I'm going to see things through mine, with mine.
I'll admit here and now, the Oak Beach Boys story has a way better chance at being a movie or best seller, but it's just as believable as the Amityville Horror.
