Andrew X, ridgerunner;

Let me add to Andrew’s warning, by way of literary example, Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People.

In short, the madness of crowds leads all to accept poison when the cure cost each mob members anything as small as an eyelash.

Those of Ridgerunner’s frame of mind would be overwhelmed if not turned against that frame of mind midway in the process due to personal losses the opposition (the statists) would highlight or threaten.
