Do You Have the Guts to Oppose the Mindless Masses, Persnickety Public and Rioting Mobs?

Beware the mob, or some historian philosopher once said. Indeed that is very good advice, humans often act like rabid dogs, and get a little bit out of control when they get into big groups. They are often quick to fight and do things they would never normally do by themselves, but somehow feel it emboldened by the crowd. Today, we see flash mobs and mobile Internet devices that allow people to communicate rapidly and organize quickly. This can be both good and bad.

These mass mobs can be good in the event of an emergency or a terrorist attack. They can be good to prevent wasted time on the freeway when you could easily go a different way to avoid an accident. They can even be good if a group of your friends just wants to have a good time and you all decide to be in a certain place at a certain time spontaneously.

Of course, they can be very bad if a hostile group of protesters decides to riots in a common against what's best for the common good. When a crowd emerges of this type, we should be aware, and our authority should be very careful because if the crowd goes out of control there is no way to stop the onslaught or blitz of bad behavior. The question is do we have the balls to oppose the mindless masses, the persnickety public, or the riding mobs when these things occur.

Should we ban the political will of these mobs, or do we demand that they uphold law and order, and take out their grievances in a more civilized way? We need to have this national discussion before things get out of hand in the future and people get hurt, buildings get destroyed and lives are lost. Please consider this.
