Finished reading Illuminatus by Shea and Wilson (read it the second or third time...). Thinking about it, it is amazing, how many people fear to say NO to whatever (and who fear to say YES as well). Everybody is clamped by his image (or whatever he thinks is his image) and what other people might think...

Just being one self and saying what you want (or more: doing what you want) costs people a lot of effort. People are remote controlled by society, publicity...

(BTW: not thinking about anyone specific, just to be clear...)
