"It is easier to dominate a large crowd than a small audience. The adhesion of the
crowd is tumultuous, summary, and unconditional. Once the suggestions have taken
effect, the crowd does not readily tolerate contradiction from a small minority, and
still less from isolated individuals. A great multitude assembled within a small area
is unquestionably more accessible to panic alarms, to unreflective enthusiasm, and
the like, than is a small meeting, whose members can quietly discuss matters among
themselves." - Wilhelm Roscher

The above is more than a theory, it's a fact. But it suggests, if only in a veiled way, that the individual is not solely responsible for his or her actions, and that's pure crap. People do things for their very own reasons. I've worked in the sewers of the U.S. government since 1958 and I have never met a person I couldn't corrupt with sex, money, and/or drugs.

Tobacco, alcoholic, gambling and religion are four products that are extremely addictive and responsible for the death of countless millions. These four gifts from hell are not only available, but promoted in neon lights throughout the world. And with the exception of religion, no one is forced to partake of them, and even under the strict Amish religion, being a Jesus freak becomes an option at the age of sixteen. It's interesting to note that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare estimates that sexual abuse and incest, based on case files, takes place in 73% of American homes. That's just the known cases of mommy and daddy having sex with their children. Add to that in-laws and outlaws raising little girl's skirts and unzipping little boy's pants, and a pack of wild dogs have better morals. At least with them it's the Alfa male doing the screwing, not some beer guzzling, sports junkie, daddy or uncle. The Catholic Church has gotten caught protecting hundreds of child molesting priests, and that makes me wonder just how many Catholic nuns have done their share to teach little girls about the joys of lesbianism.
