We Are C.h.a.n.g.e. is a group of citizen activists who are committed to exposing what they believe is the truth of the September 11th attacks. We are change believes that the attacks were an example of a false flag event. Started in New York City in 2006, the group has become an important part of the 9/11 Truth Movement and is known for their street actions as well as confrontations of political officials, who are believed to have lied about their knowledge of the events of 9-11. Many We Are Change chapters have formed all over the United States and the world, and are joining in the fight against the New World Order. We Are Change is also involved in fund raising for 9/11 first responders of 9/11 who are sick and dying.
We Are Change recently held an event on 9/11/07 for the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks, and raised over $11,000 for sick and dying first responders of the attacks who are currently being ignored by the government of the US.

Star Tripping
Warning: Star tripping is an activity that can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Please trip within the presence of responsible adults whom you trust.
Star Tripping is a new fad quickly spreading among the teenagers of the United States. The process of star tripping entails a person staring up at the night sky and, while focusing on a star, spins in place 15 times. Another person with a bright light (most popular is a flashlight) will approach the spinning person and shine the light directly into their eyes. This causes the spinning person to experience a short "black out" and will fall to the ground.
There have been no studies performed to study any potential health hazards. There have been several personal experiences that included a "star tripping hangover" which was described as a minor headache (most likely from the bright light). There have also been claims that people were 'addicted' to star tripping; however, there exist no proof to confirm or deny this claim.

A metrophile is a person whose hobby is the study of metro (subway, underground) systems.
Such people may indulge their hobby by:
*Traveling and visiting as many metro systems as they can.
*Attempting to find out about and/or visit hidden nooks and crannies of a metro system.
*Learning about and taking tours of abandoned metro stations.
*Learning about the technology, architecture, and history of various metro systems.
*Collecting material related to metro systems, such as maps, plans, transfers, and tickets, often from many cities around the world.
*Publicizing their metro systems (some metrophile websites contain more information about the system than the transit companies own).
*Designing expanded metro networks for various cities.
*Discussing their findings with others.
*In general, writing, learning, teaching, photographing, and thinking about metros.
Some metrophiles even manage to attract attention, approval, help, and even employment from transit companies.
However, in the Greater New York Area, they are instead known as railfans. Some of them have formed a well-organized lobbying organization.
Some also combine this with bus spotter or tram spotter to form "transit fan", a person who studies a city's entire urban public transit system.
One metrophile, a New Yorker named Darius McCollum, impersonated a range of New York City subway personnel for some time; he was so technically proficient at driving trains, helping repair crews, fixing trains, and even dealing with emergencies, that he served unpaid with some distinction (and a certain amount of complicity from actual personnel). This was illegal and he was repeatedly arrested and, despite a plea to have him treated for Asperger's syndrome, was finally imprisoned. Harper's Magazine published an article on him in May 2002.
Perhaps the most famous celebrity metrofan was film director Alfred Hitchcock, whose hobby was collecting and memorizing railway timetables, and who prided himself on being able to recite from memory every stop on the Orient Express.
