Morning!

What would you do if you were handed a pamphlet to ban water?  Laugh hysterically…or sign like the folks did below?

Penn And Teller Get Hippies To Sign Water Banning Petition

Let me tell you - that was eye-opening in the extreme!

How many times have you been swayed by the ‘heat of the moment’, so to say, or by a desire to follow the crowd, to do something, well, really really idjut-totic? 

What does your network say?

Enjoy,

Barbara

      So very very very VERY true!! That’s one thing I’m trying to teach my kids to AVOID - the classic case of “not thinking things through.”

      It takes a lifetime to learn, you know. :)

    Oh wow, I’d like to say that’s unbelievable, but it’s not. Most people are simply joiners.  When I lived in Washinton, DC I was constantly asked to sign all of sorts of things as I walked down the street.  I wouldn’t sign unless I understood exacly what they were talking about and I agreed with their viewpoint.
