TIMOTEO SEZ...



















The inability (or unwillingness) to think for oneself, and thus the proclivity to partake in a HERD mentality, is what produced the two party political system in the United States-- and has been reflected in that system since its inception.

  1. I couldn't agree more. We are also plagued by it in Australia. The herd mentality has a lot to answer for!

  2. 'Group think', the original oxymoron.

  3. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the two party system. Plus, there really isn't much difference between the dems and reps.

  5. "Group think," "Double speak," "New speak," all memorable terms.

  6. SELMA,
    As long as they're more concerned about getting re-elected that helping the country, it will stay that way!

    J COSMO,
    Right on. (And right in, right under, and right over.) Hey, I liked your Tiddlywink poem about me on Sir Percy's blog!

    KOBICO,
    Two sides of the same coin, I like to say. :)

    LORRAINE,
    The mentality is often adolescent, that's true.

    MAGYAR,
    May I call you Doug, since everyone else seems to? Yeah, there is no intellect, superior or otherwise, inherent in herd mentality.
