Most groups today aren't groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.

It's like this - these five members have been influenced of course by other groups, because that's where this generation's groups came from - an environment like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and The Who. People like that.

We said in our 21st Century Party paper there are 61 mosaic groups, which the market research people use as different socio-economic categories and half of our members come from just five of those groups and that is very narrow - too narrow.

The Unity is The Disruption
The band is made to bind into groups.
As groups they float, they clash heavily.
Sever the band and break the groups.
As individuals, they clash mildly.

There are very few groups that really stay together. The leaders of groups make enough money to be able to afford to work a maximum of 35-40 weeks a year.

Bush is a very poor impromptu speaker. He does fine in small groups but when speaking without a script in front of large groups or answering questions he wasn't prepped for, he has problems.

Potentials of the lion
The lion moves in groups; the lion prowl in groups.
Hi is a coward and yet it’s crowned
The king of the jungle, which is rightly so
For he can mate fifty times in a day.

Sum Total Residue Life Ripples
lifetimes spent filling empty spaces
lifetimes spent desiring other places
people could spend a lifetime in this
world studying learning doing or not
belonging or not as you choose most
people cannot most need to conform
but you can and will define yourself
herd mentality conformity denies self
conformity imprisons social responsibility
compliance identification internalization
choose then informational social influence
choose also or normative social influence
information cascade knowledge peer pressure
age social rejection social norms youth culture
status public opinion immediacy group numbers
conformity normally leads individuals
to think and act more like social groups
herd mentality often rejects rationality
status individuals are occasionally
able to reverse lower IQ herd tendency
challenge change people peer groups
minority influence is a special case
of adaptive informational influence
minority influence is most influential
when group accepted admired esteemed people
can charismatic make a clear consistent
case for their point of view prime relevant
but when minority view fluctuates
shows uncertainty signs signals
chance of influence is small falls
however beware a racist minority
that makes a strong scapegoat political
convincing case which increases
probability of changing majority beliefs
changing majority beliefs behaviors
minority members perceived as experts
members with appeal high in status
perceived benefited group in the past
are more likely to implement changes
herein enters threat Hitler's disasters
minority influence can sometimes
override previous conformity effects
lead to unhealthy group dynamics
a single 'bad apple' inconsiderate
undesired negligent group members
can substantially increase conflicts
reduce performance in work groups
create negative emotional climates
hate malice racist mentality interferes
with healthy group social functionings
history advocates avoid these courses
does a coward mentality cop out reason
'It's more likely that I'm wrong than
that all those other people are wrong.
Therefore, I will do as they do.'
What does God free will advocate?
Each snow flake falling is different
each set of fingerprints is unique different
each eye retina scan is unique different
each scanned human heart is unique different
small differences are effect important
each individual voice is effect important
tally accounting of souls is important
remember Hitler Nazi extermination policies
people knew it was morally ethnically wrong
pressure conformity condemned victim souls

Overcoming A Writer's Block
Stretch!
If you can't stand up,
stretch as many muscle groups
as possible while
staying seated.
Try tensing and
releasing various
muscle groups.
Starting from your toes,
tense up for perhaps
five to ten seconds
and then let go.
Relax and
then go on to
another muscle group.
Breathe deeply.
Close your eyes;
then,
fill your chest cavity
slowly by taking
four of five short deep breaths.
Hold each breath
until it hurts,
and then let it
out slowly.
Use a calming word
or mental image
to focus on while relaxing.
If you choose a word,
be careful not
to use an imperative.
Don't command
yourself to
'Calm down! '
or 'Relax! '

A Glee For Winter
HENCE, rude Winter! crabbed old fellow,
Never merry, never mellow!
Well-a-day! in rain and snow
What will keep one’s heart aglow?
Groups of kinsmen, old and young,
Oldest they old friends among;
Groups of friends, so old and true
That they seem our kinsmen too;
These all merry all together
Charm away chill Winter weather.
What will kill this dull old fellow?
Ale that ’s bright, and wine that ’s mellow!
Dear old songs for ever new;
Some true love, and laughter too;
Pleasant wit, and harmless fun,
And a dance when day is done.
Music, friends so true and tried,
Whisper’d love by warm fireside,
Mirth at all times all together,
Make sweet May of Winter weather.
