You could say every question is multiple choice. Is the popular answer always the correct choice ? Well now that certainly depends on a number of factors, the least of which is truth. If you are going for popularity, the popular answer is a no-brainer. I find a whole lot of folks that choose this path. It is far easier to repeat the popular answer than to research your own response. This is especially true with social media and the availability of others opinions . You can grasp those opinions as evidence that is what other people are saying ! You may even imply that these thoughts are your own, and others are agreeing with you, when the opposite is true. A new word to describe that action has entered the lexicon of modern language, sheeple. A " sheeple " is a person that just follows along with the crowd. Their motivation is to belong. Having no desire to think for themselves they just go along with whatever the current narrative happens to be. It is the safety in numbers thing, a dependence upon the crowd for protection. Much like children their response is often, everyone else was doing it ! That's how you explain eating tide pods.
This is really nothing new, people have always been this way. There is security and safety in numbers. Being popular is a far more pleasant experience than being different. People don't like having their thoughts challenged or routines disrupted. Maintaining the status quo, so to speak. But now, at this juncture in American history, the popular choice is for change. Change everything. Having grown tired of the " establishment " the popular choice is to rebel against it. But what has been established that requires not just revision, but total abandonment ? Where should we begin ?
The hot topic at the moment is gun control. What has been established. The easy answer is the second amendment to the constitution is what has been established to define our rights in that regard. There are many in the country right now that want to make a revision to that established doctrine. A restriction placed upon the free exercise of a right, removes the right, is my opinion. Many will argue that in the context of time, this revision is a necessity. My response is, does time alter the motivations of men ? I believe you would have to answer, no. The same motivations existed a thousand years ago as exist today. Power and wealth. There are those that wish to control, the alpha male, and will exercise their strength to do so. Governments can do the same, the founding fathers that wrote our constitution and bill of rights knew this, and provided a check on that. That check is, the second amendment.
A bigger question to be answered here is, just who is the shepherd leading the sheeple ? I see no leader, no one directing the show. The promised leader failed to win election. This has caused much confusion among the sheeple. The sheeple are lost and wandering. The sheeple have turned to who ? To what ? MSN, CNN, celebrities and protests ! Lacking direction the sheep have made the popular choice. Really they just adopt causes that few can argue with. People shouldn't be shooting each other, everyone should live happily ever after, and children are our most precious resource. Everyone gets everything and everyone gets forgiven for any infraction, as long as they are a survivor and wear a ribbon to prove it ! Everyone is not only exceptional, everyone is an exception ! People are not to blame for anything, it is the lack of legislation that is to blame. Well, that and those rifles that keep assaulting people. That didn't happen with muskets ! That didn't happen with shotguns ! That doesn't happen with pistols ! No, it is just these modern assault rifles that do that stuff, restrict them ! Lock them up !
Who is leading the sheep ? Pelosi ? Warren ? Who among them has an intelligible platform ? It appears to me that the sheep have lost little bo peep ! Somebody needs to make a decision. If not the sheeple will just keep circling around and around. Make a choice. Funny how the very people that are encouraging these sheep are the ones fleecing them. Power and wealth.
