The herd mentality probably becomes a comfortable safety blanket if you use it enough, and before long, you're used to being told what to do by people like Bloomberg.<br /><br />P.J. O'Rourke's quote above is from his book "Driving Like Crazy", about how the automobile liberates the human spirit -you're free to go wherever you want, whenever you want.Larrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402082.post-6813970067924240042012-05-31T09:29:12.059-07:002012-05-31T09:29:12.059-07:00Have to wonder why the NYCers elect Mr. Nanny.

O'Rourke refers to liberals like Bloomberg as "Fun-Suckers".<br /><br />"They're the ones who go around saying how unsafe this fun thing is and how unhealthy that fun thing is and how unfair, unjust, uncaring, insensitive, divisive, contagious and fattening every other thing that's fun is. <br /><br />"They are a bit too careful, a bit too concerned, a bit too scrupulous. They're also evil and they hate us. The motive behind spoiling things for others and then throwing a wet blanket over the rained-on parade is a matter of neither caution nor morals. They suck the fun out of life in order to gain control."Larrynoreply@blogger.com
