Its easy for someone to find holes in the work of another, especially work that they couldn't do themselves, and then its even easier to agree with those who posted before you. I think before you talk ill of Scientists, or 'sheeple', you should take a good look at yourself. Are you the owner of your own business, leader of a club, mayor/governor/president, founder of some group or entity, captain of a sport team, head of a military group, or any other leadership position. The odds are most if not all of those who are talking so negatively are followers themselves...

So the sheeple follow the masses to the slaughter house, when they could've started the change to their freedoms. Nobody wants to stand out or lead because they fear becoming first targets.

When I walked into the theater, I was the only one in there. As other people came in, I realized that they each sat down no more than two seats away from me, in spite of the fact that there were a hundred seats empty to chose from. Herd mentality.

I am 75 and wonder when and if...... ever I was smart and also the times that I might have been be a sheeple (dumb). I can tell you .... Now I don't really want anyone to respond to that. Not that you could...... I am so proud that I brought three precious children into this world and they have brought altogether seven grandchildren. I just pray I did some other good things and was a leader in some ways that was good for others. If this is not the case.. I am too old to care. really enjoyed the information and comments.

All this even thought water as no apparent brain! i find these study a bit moron, is that the scientist conclusion or the one of the news writer?? Why not ask people to all choose a path instead asking them to walk randomly?? There fooling there results cause they want the answer they proposed first.

I also said "reptilians" and "world domination" and "the enslaving of mankind". That was kinda the end of the interview to be honest.
