One has to acknowledge at times, the incredible wisdom presented to them through all medias. Today, the particular thing I am referring to is the movie Men in Black. Although this may not be the origin of said ideas, and they were merely quoting or ripping off somebody else, I know not, however I heard it there first. People are stupid. So earlier today, I was watching this robot competition, and it was set on this stage, and there was some pretty poor seating all around, but you could see if you sat, and the people in front of you sat, etc. Of course, because of the incredible stupidity of people, some decided to stand in front, then the people behind them stood, etc. until you really
had to stand in order to see.
Another example, although less recent was when I went to a BNL concert a summer or two ago, and the same thing happened. Everybody could have seen if they all sat, but some idiots decided to stand, and everybody else decided to follow suit.
If this was an individual person, I could reason with them, but there's no negotiating with a mob.
