Even though this information was posted in response to America's current financial crisis, I found that it also might explain why many people choose not to believe in the supernatural.

Re: Herd Mentality
You see the Herd Mentality every time the weather men up north call for a bad snow. Nothing will strip the grocery stores of Milk, Eggs, and Bread quicker.
I've never figured out what French Toast has to do with snow though...

Re: Herd Mentality
"Herd Mentality" is a misnomer. We are not herd animals, we are pack animals -- family animals. We desire to be accepted; we desire to be loved. We desire not to be outcast. The outcast is eaten by wolves. When we are outcast from one group, we quickly seek out a new group of which to belong. There is safety in numbers. Humans will follow any idea that seems to lead to acceptance by our chosen group. We will only question the pack leaders when we think that their directions are leading us to our deaths and even then we may find it hard to get out of the old habits and belief systems.
The Earth quakes and the Heavens rattle; the beasts of nature flock together and the nations of men flock apart; Volcanoes usher up heat while elsewhere water becomes ice and melts; and then on other days it just rains. Indeed do many things come to pass.
