Thanks, interesting thoughts... The childrens game, follow the leader was likely created by children mimicking adults. One (fun) true nature of the game, who was picked to be the leader and why, and to see how their personality changes.

William,

Who leads the leaders ?
Sylvia S. Aug 1, 2008, 8:52am EDT
this is related to conformity and an urge to fit in and not stand out . I am myself a no conformist,
George Corneliussen Aug 1, 2008, 11:32am EDT
Sylvia,

I think it's O.K. to fit in unless that's all we do.

This was a great one George. I salute you...I thought I was the only one who didn't like to follow the leader. You made a great point about the bank fees, etc. It amazes me how people just turn the other cheek when it comes to dealing with these crazy fees, etc. I did a little research a couple of years ago and joined a credit union by me. I would suggest people out there search out alternatives to the huge corporate banks. The credit union I belong to pays higher interest rates than regular banks and I pay nothing for unlimited savings and checking account transactions. Additionally, you're greeted with a smile and they get you in and out fast - I'm literally in and out - never having to wait. Anyhow...we need more indians and less leaders when it comes to using our minds. Hopefully, people pay attention to what you said. Great new thought on an old idea George!
Chuck M. Aug 11, 2008, 9:19pm EDT
...I should have said "less chiefs..."
George Corneliussen Aug 12, 2008, 5:38am EDT
Chuck,

As the ad used to say " A mind is a terrible thing to waste." I wish more people would exercise their right to to think for themselves. That would get our "leaders" attention.
