Lemmings don’t actually commit mass suicide, so why is it so easy to convince people to do it? Is the siren song of “free stuff” so overpowering that it makes us dumber than lemmings?
A man was walking through a lonely forest one day, when he saw a tiny sapling. “This sapling,” he said, “will someday become a great bush that will grow many delicious berries. Perhaps I should try to make sure it survives.”
