Excellent point Jehanzeb you have hit the nail right on its head. This is what i term th "Bandwagon Phsyce" it is also in its most vivid example on display today in Pakistan, where everyone and their garden hose have joined up to lead rallies and hold vigils for people they do not even acknowledge or care about in their daily lives. Anyone who tries to resist them is termed a cronie.
