rabble rousers in my town

1/2 these folks never heard of a flash mob till this
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Wasn't there a recent case where the shoppers freaked out and the mall they were "flashing" got locked down or something?

Yeah, the same mall that had the huge fire a week or two before. But it wasn't the shoppers who freaked, it was the aw-thor-i-tees. Apparently, the group planning to do the flash mod Hallelujah Chorus announced it ahead of time, and by T minus 20 or so the food court was so overcrowded the aw-thor-i-tees ordered the mall evacuated. They later did the chorus in the parking lot.

I know of two, that I've seen on YouTube.  Is this the latest trend of the week?  One I can't disapprove of.  (Though, some YouTube comments are ugly.)

At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

They did one of those deals over at Ohio State, even got Gordon Gee (the university president) involved.  Kind of a fun thing for people to do.

On the Youtube thing, it's one of my favorite sites, but I don't even mess withthe comments.  Idiots all the way...
