I have come to the conclusion that group-think makes ordinary people commit the most evil on earth. Group-think is most frequently manifested via organized religion, but communism, ultra-nationalism, Nazism, etc are all examples of group-think. In each case the individual is lost and replaced by a monstrous machination of the "higher purpose". Incidentally, Ayn Rand's institute of rugged individualism is another example of loss of self to the group-think.

So, what, Robertson is now a mouthpiece for BigOil? Will his comments about Venezuela and perhaps some new drumbeats for 'regime change' bring about even HIGHER PRICES? Is Robertson upset that Venezuela is selling oil to China? Can Robertson be arrested and charged for preaching murder? Hmmm. Republicans, what they won't do for a buck. CBS News is doing what looks to be a 2-week series of reports about the effect of skyhigh gas prices. They're sending a minivan across country and chatting with people about how the prices are negatively affecting their lives.
