Against the Grain

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have a natural paranoia of the crowd mentality. In fact, whenever the crowd is for something, I feel like I should back away from it. In fact, I start to get frightened of things if the crowd becomes very much for something. I don’t really know why it is the case. It’s not because I don’t agree with something as much as the thought that whenever a crowd flocks to an issue it is because they are being led that way by the media or the politicians.

I am sorry, I do not think the media is looking out for our best interests all the time. I do not think politicians are looking out for our best interest all the time. I look at the actions of the crowd flocking to an issue, I look at the media or politician messages and then I begin to distance myself and look at the other side. I guess that means I end up going against the grain in politics and everything else.
