In recurring episodes over the next couple of decades, the minority view gradually won. A profusion of factors differentiates each case from the others, including naked partisanship on both sides, but the trend has been clear.

The Minority Government
The wise are in minority.
The rulers are in minority
Rogues too are in minority.
So are captains and militants.
Teachers are in minority.
Bishops are in minority.
Juries too are minority.
So are smugglers and the rich.
Americans are in minority.
Human beings are in minority.
Minority rules the majority.
Minority rides the majority.
Majority yields to minority.
Majority fears the minority,
And loves to play the role of drudgery.
The sign of majority is slavery

I have never seen such extreme partisanship, such bitter partisanship, and such forgetfulness of the fate of our fathers and of the Constitution.

Although there were only about 24 episodes made it seems to run forever. They take a couple of episodes and put them together, making a feature film once in a while. I had good fun making the series.

Exploiting people's emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it's not change, it's partisanship. We don't need partisanship. We don't need demagoguery, we need solutions.
And I'd say one of the great lessons I've learned over the past couple of decades, from a management perspective, is that really when you come down to it, it really is all about people and all about leadership.

Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other.

Losing My Minority
To lose one’s minority
Is not a bad thing.
With the loss of minority
come untold opportunities,
The magic of the number Eighteen.
With the loss of minority
Comes the lifting of the chains
That we once called childhood.
With the loss of minority
Comes college, then work,
Credit cards and Ebay.
With the loss of minority
Come parties and booze,
Familiar faces in the evening news.
With the loss of minority
Comes the search for a partner –
The thorn-lined chatrooms on rose-colored sites.
With the loss of minority
Comes the loss of virginity
And the loss of your sanity.
To lose one’s minority
is not a bad thing.
Young girl, welcome to your future.

What is a minority The chosen heroes of this earth have been in a minority. There is not a social, political, or religious privilege that you enjoy today that was not bought for you by the blood and tears and patient suffering of the minority. It is the minority that have stood in the van of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world.

That's what the Senate is about. It's the last bastion of minority rights, where a minority can be heard, where a minority can stand on its feet, one individual if necessary, and speak until he falls into the dust.

Sum Total Residue Life Ripples
lifetimes spent filling empty spaces

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

conformity normally leads individuals

minority influence is a special case
of adaptive informational influence
minority influence is most influential
when group accepted admired esteemed people

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

I began directing episodes, which was a great light every couple of months. We never short-changed our audience, but it became something that you had to work at rather than something that was a pleasure.

The Majesty of the majority
The arrogance of the majority
Kills the freedom of the minority.
The authority of the majority
Checks the progress of the minority.
The humility of the majority
Tends the growth of the minority
The majesty of the majority
Grants the safety of the minority
Let the Babaar majid be rebuilt.
[The majid was an unused mosque built centuries ago in the place of a Hindu temple, and was destructed by the Hindu faith people giving a shock to the country’s secularism]
