Observations

An infrequent new feature wherein I will post my random and probably acerbic musings. The inaugural quip:

The majority of people are incapable of rational analysis, relying instead on others to tell them what to think. These people constitute the easily manipulated herds which have been the tools of politicians, priests, and other varieties of bully throughout history. The fact that they do not realize this weakness exists in themselves is the very thing which makes them so pliable. They will make all the proper noises about freedom and self-determination, but when push comes to shove they always fall meekly into line and do what they are told -- even if what they are told to do makes no objective sense -- because they value their continued existence more than the right to choose for themselves. Such people are sentient only by the broadest and most generous definition of the word. They have more in common with cattle than they do with true human beings.
