My pet view of most of mankind is as bovines:  slowly muching away their 
grass, thoughtless expression in the face, always following the rest of 
the band.

Very few individuals are able to step away from the herd and see the 
bigger picture, and not be influenced by it.  Those can clearly see 
where to go and think of how to get there.  They thus become the group's 
leaders.

You wouldn't believe how bad and perverse group thinking can be in a 3rd 
world country like Brazil.  It means poor, analphabetized folks led by 
bad pirated, loud paranoid music and movies, getting subjobs and trying 
to act cool like TV celebrities by having drug-fueled group sex parties 
without condoms still as teens.  Which eventually leads to poorer and 
dumber generations still to come.  I see no hope for these poor, 
acephalic souls...
