I agree with everything you say except that I am not sure people thought for themselves in the past anymore than they do now. Sadly it seems that most people would rather do the wrong thing and fit in than do the right thing and stand out. Joan,

I feel that the majority of our issues as a country (in the US) is because of this mentality. People don't think for themselves anymore. They follow the popular views; they believe what they are told without reservation. They are sheep without any thoughts of their own. Only a few have the courage to stand up and question what is presented. These are the ones who make a difference and cause change and reform. For me this is not a new subject.
