Driving to mass early this morning I was met with throngs of cars jamming the byways all leading to the big-box stores. It gives you wonder... No, it is not wonder anymore, for the reality of what really matters to us is plain as the noses on our faces, as the fight to be first in line to get that "MUST HAVE item cheapest" reigns. Viewing our 'mob' actions through the lens of mimetic theory one begins to realize the power of mimetic contagion.
The Muppits have a way of being a mirror to us, as Animal sings of being abandon by Mama and Dada who have been swept up by the crowds at the big box store and Miss Piggy summing everything up so well, "nothing really matters, but moi... Anyway the wind blows..."
