LEMMINGS
Slowly but surely we've become a nation of lemmings. Fuzzy, harmless little lemmings with a singular mind set ... follow the guy in front. Today more lemmings are being created than ever before.
Higher education seems to be the incubator of "Lemonistic" thinking ... Woven in to the curriculum of knowledge is the lemming mentality. Lemming 101?!?
I personally have nothing against the growing masses of lemmings ... However I would never want to become a publicly correct lemmings.
I'm a free spirit and free-spirit's don't reside in lemmings. I'm also independent and lemmings can't afford to be independent.
Fortunately I just don't seem to fit today's lemming profile.
A lemming has a need to be accepted ... a need to be politically correct and follow the direction of the masse ... "Shake ‘n bake," "paint by numbers" all these terms are indicative of a true lemming. A lemming feels a great contentment when he's inside the line ... but there has to be a line.
Just give a lemming a job description and a little cubicle with his desk. Happy! Happy! Happy!
Ah, another lemming says, "Just give me some food, a seat and screen, and I'll be content".
Nose to rectum they continue their common direction.
Thoughtless followers of the masses.
Clueless followers of the masses.
In my lifetime, I've worked with lemmings. I've worked around lemmings, I've worked under lemmings; but I'm definitely not a lemming. I'm an independent, alive and creative individual, traveling an entirely different direction then today's herd of lemmings..
On occasion, some lemmings even dare call me a rebel. What an honor!
How nice it is to be free from the fuzzy parade of mediocrity.
