Before You Jump on the BLM Bandwagon, at Least Find Out Who They Are!

Are you a lemming? Do you look for the herd and join up even if you don't know where they're going or what they're doing? Or do you pause, take a deep breath, do a little research, and determine whether the herd has got it right or wrong?

Seems for many it's the first. "Hey, look, let's be part of the crowd and play follow the leader. Who's the leader? Who cares. It looks like fun." What does it matter if no one knows who the real leader is and what the objectives are?

Eugene Ionesco, a member of the Theatre of the Absurd movement, wrote an interesting play called The Leader which perfectly illustrates the idiocy of many in these days of pandemonium over both the coronavirus and the Black Lives Matter movement. I actually participated in this play when I was in college. Trinity was down the street from Catholic U. with its famous drama department. Some friends and I acted the play for a C.U. student's senior project. She had us running around the stage like these actors, but bleating like sheep. Lee-eee-eee-eea-der, Lee-eee-eee-eea-der. It was perfect!
