I think it applies to everyone.  ::)  I think we are "herd" creatures by design. We like to belong to a group and we love to find someone who can say what we believe with flare and a few choice words. i.e. the quotation part. I listen to talk radio a lot. I am amazed at the rhetoric I hear daily. I rarely hear an original thought. Lots of catch phrases.
Look at the world man has created. We educate in groups, we politicize in groups, we govern in groups, we work in groups, we play in groups, we worship in groups.

I think this is along the same lines but today it occured to me that if we belong to the majority opinion on ANYTHING in/of this world, we are probably wrong.
Hmmmmm...... :-\ ;)

Linny,

Where those above conditions exist, always wrong is the best answer. Most people are just repeating or parroting what tickles their ears best. Thinking is hard work, coming up with unique solutions is even harder. My understanding since a little child is: if everybody else is doing it, something is definitely wrong with it.

The one thing i can remember to this day is: boy shut your mouth, you ask too many questions, just do it.

Still won't shut up and never follow the herd, unless i have the right answers from the leader and then i stay right on his tail to verify direction.

Once you learn the 80/20 rule, it starts to make sense.

Well George, I guess that might work, UNLESS the 80/20 rule is believed to be true by the majority.  :D ;) :D ;) ;D

Suzie, AMEN! I can't believe I had forgotten that saying. Somebody sure nailed that one!
And I can say this. Many people may quote it, but rarely do you find someone who lives it.

If the majority believed it, then we would be in The next age now. ???

george ;D.
