Everyone? Should I laugh now? I remember some of the accusations I had been targetted with over the past years. Some of them were hurtful. Foresight into the problem they did not reveal - more outright ignorance, according to the motto: it cannot be what should not be - we are STRONG.
Of course, some people with a more open mind saw it coming. but by far not everyone. People headed for the cliff with thundering applaus. That with the masses pushing in your rear the only way down there is to jump, nobody wanted to hear. It's the classical Lemmings phenomenon. Lemmings do not jump off cliffs because they are stupid, as often is said. The ones up in front get pushed from the masses coming behind them. It does not need many to get the march of the Lemmings started, but once it's under way, it seems you can't stop it - everybody yells "Me to! and dreams of the cheap fortune, and pushes with all his strength.
