Thanks, Curt.

Does that also include 'our own' demonstrations? How about Seattle, Genova,
February 15? I do not mean this at all as a rethoric question because since
a long time I have been studying mass psychology, this now defunct 20st
century analytic and reflective wisdom (I hestitate to write 'science'),
which is exactly stressing the point that you are making here.
