"The Mainstream"

In 1942, in Germany, "the mainstream" swore its undying allegiance to the Führer and agreed with his ideas about the elimination of inferiors and the creation of a "master race".

Atrocities all around the world since ancient times have been committed with the full approval and knowledge of "the mainstream".

So why the hell is it that people are so desperate to be a part of "the mainstream". We have both parties claiming to better represent it.

I'd rather have a party that stands up for what's right than what's mainstream.

But then, I've never shied away from being an oddball...

1. I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing !....

TO hell with the mainstream ! ITS ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT !

If you took a poll in Georgia 1960, I bet you 70% of the people would not be for civil rights for blacks?... Does that make them right ? Is being in the majority make things correct?.... There are way too many examples to prove that theory WRONG!.. I, like you am sick of seeing so many DUers clamoring that we are now the majority!.... Stick to your principles is all that matters !

2. George Carlin said it best,

and I am paraphrasing to the best of my memory, "Just think about how stupid the average person is and then realize that half the people are more stupid than that."
