The End of Evolution: Sheeple

Honestly, I can't believe how many people no longer have individual likes, original thoughts and personal opinions about anything and everything. It's frightening, bringing to mind the classic sci-fi movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. These days I go around checking the back of people's necks to see if they have a telltale red mark indicating they are not a person but a pod.

How else is it possible that everyone listens to, wonders about and follows the comings and goings of Taylor Swift and her football-playing boyfriend, as if they matter? 

How can fashion trends in clothing and hairstyles come along and appeal to  everyone, regardless of how appropriate they are to their particular body shape and facial structure?

Why do most men have beard these days, when they used to only have mustaches or be clean-shaven? 

What can explain the need, desire or compulsion to watch the latest movie or TV show deemed a "must-see" by the makers of such films?

What inspires so many people to spend so much of their relatively paltry incomes on tattoos, especially those full sleeves on arms and legs that cost from the high hundreds to thousands and serve no purpose whatsoever?

Why is the need to be indistinguishable from everyone else the number one need among our younger generations?

What makes people watch award shows like The Academy Awards, the Grammys, and all the rest, then rush out to see those movies and hear that music in order to feel "with it?" With what?

DO YOU EVER WONDER: WHO IS IN CHARGE?
