Beware of rallies.

Useful for firing up the base. Useful for blasting the message to the populace at large. Useful for letting like-minded souls know that they are not alone.

But rallies and mobs share disturbing commonalities. Like being a many-headed beast without a brain.

When 2 million plus showed up at the Inauguration Jan 20th, was it a mob?
Many attendees were classless boors who boo’d President Bush and wet their pants over Obama.

We still have the freedom of assembly and free speech.
