Therapy To The Masses

The tyranny of the masses is a strange phenomenon. Truth can be skewed by large numbers of misinformed people believing incorrect things. "Facts" can be blindly followed even though nobody really made an effort to verify them. Worst of all, some people like to believe that their beliefs engender the One Truth. Sometimes, it may be possible that the masses need re-education, not the oppressed minorities. Regular, otherwise potentially socially healthy people are being driven to the fringes on account of their differences. Gone are the days when being left-handed was a dreadful thing, yet negative discrimination still exists amongst the bearers of the "negative" attributes. How strange that some "legal adults" come of age at 18 in some places when they are taken to be adults only at 21 years of age in other places. To be sure, if societies cannot agree on the legal definition of such a simple matter, how can they be so sure that their individually held beliefs are truly appropriate?
