      Being called a lemming is as much of a slur and quite related. group-think is not admirable. Individuals who create new things, art, concepts, services are not lemmings, not engaged in group think or follow the leader. They get their names and stories in encyclopedias and are known for centuries. Group-thinkers/lemmings only do if, in masses, they destroy things.

        The lemming going is groups to kill themselves is a multiple times debunked myth. It was created by unethical documentarists. Also, lemmings are cute.

          Never take me too seriously. I am NOT easily offended and am more pro-free speech than most. I am not bothered by words. its PEOPLE who bother me.
