*Alfred Lord Tennyson. "The Charge of the Light Brigade"
That's a big problem today. People doing stupid things because they are told to do them without having a clue why or what the consequences will be. Stupid people led by stupid people to which end? Terrible and predictable consequences. WHY do people refuse to think, ask, question, reason, figure out? Why do they just do what they're told to do without caring about why? Are people getting dumber or are they just getting more frightened of thinking and being responsible for the consequences of their actions so they stop and let others do it for them? Any ideas?
