"A crowd is just a heartbeat or two away from a mob as we are seeing all the time now. The more people crowd together, the more irresponsible and irrational they tend to act. The more they stand out courageously as individuals, the more the try to, or least pretend to, exhibit concern about the results of their actions."
- Gene Logsdon, "The Economic Decentralization of Nearly Everything" from Letters to a Young Farmer
