Unfortunately some people can't think for themselves, and it's sad when they decide to follow a leader.
That's why I have no leaders.
BTW, I don't see how we got from discussing abstract symbols in crops worldwide to a form of tragic belief systems by weak-willed people.
Those folks fell under the same type of spell like Jim Jones and the Guyana massacre.
We are discussing something totally different.
