Trotter says the herd instinct in an animal is stronger even than the preservation of life, Mamet said. So I was watching the [2008] debates. My liberal friends would spit at the mention of Sarah Palins name. Or they would literally mime the act of vomiting. Were watching the debates and one of my friends pretends to vomit and says, I have to leave the room. I thought, oh my god, this is Trotter! This is the reaction of the herd instinct. When a sheep discovers a wolf in the fold, it vomits to ward off the attacker. Its a sign that their position in the herd is threatened.
Baa. Baa.
Interesting. Guess who just mentioned this article in a tweet today and called it a “a good read”?
