14. And we're not supposed to get upset about "Make my day", because that would be "weird" ...

but the truth is that that is how mob-psychosis gets rooted, common stuff, often ostensibly "humorous", nice personas, social rewards . . . and it's HARD to be "the canary in the coal mine" and certainly there are lots of false-positives that make those "canaries" even less welcome, but . . .

It's a LOT harder to change trends once something is established, as is pretty obvious for example when it comes to our inclination to go to war whenever anyone wants to, or what has been going on in "our" financial sector for example, than it is to avoid that drift into, or actually further into, crazy-land in the first place.
