Thanks to Uncommon Sense, I found this quote:
“I believe that the public wants to be lead, to be instructed, to be told what to do. They want reassurance. They will always move on masse, a mob, a herd, a group, because people want the safety of human company. They are afraid to stand alone because the pressure is to be safely included within the herd, not to be the lone calf standing on the desolate, dangerous wolf-patrolled prairie of contrary opinion.”

I turn 40 on the 29th November. The 2nd of December, however, is when I’m having the birthday party.
I just finished doing the invitation and inviting people, all via a website that allows me to do online invitations and keep track of who is coming and who’s not. So far I have 4 people turning up, with 15 invited. Deidre, of course, as well as my friend Ken, and also my friend Mel.
Some of you may remember Mel from March 2004, when her and I went on an around-the-north-island road trip for 11 days. That was a whole lotta fun, a memorable holiday.
