Eddie, I was thinking about riots and situations like that. I always get very nervous in thick crowds. I know how people do things in large groups that individually they would *never* do.
But now you've got me thinking... Why is it that some people seem to be born more susceptible to the emotional suggestions of group psychology? Fortunately, (IMO), I have never been one of them, but my Mom is MUCH more open to that sort of thing. Is it nature or nuture? Is it chemical? Are there drugs I could get (legally or otherwise) that would make me more "spitirual"? (I'm not ACUTALLY interested in doing so, I'm just making a point). Fascinating to think about...
And your ex should have been glad you were there with her and not behaving disrespectfully or getting into trouble! ;D
