[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim': [QB] I think one shouldn't just dismiss town- or countrywide mourning/outrage as sycophantic hypocrisy and summarily despise the people involved. There may be [i]some[/i] hypocrites among the people in question, like flag salesmen and politicians looking for a cause, but the phenomenon of large crowds feeling sympathy for a person they 24 hours earlier were seemingly unattached to is much more complicated than just being explained with "they're joining up in the hopes that others who started acting that way will accept them in the club". I think it is a built-in mechanism and it has a meaning. I guess it falls under sociology and/or anthropology (what's the difference???), but I haven't studied enough of either to write a fucking article about it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
