The mob mentality is quite powerful, and even more powerful is the man who can control those forces, if for a short time. They can be equally
dangerous the those who contend to be in control of the mobs. If you are interested in the subject I suggest you pick up a book titled,
Mobs, Messiahs,
and Markets. It is a truly fascinating, educational, and entertaining book, very fun read.
