We be "They"! I think when we say "They Say" we believe it to be the collective majority who believe it to be so. All this doesn't make what "They Say" correct, just the accepted norm on whatever it is. I am not sure if I understand what I just wrote here, but I am certain that 'THEY" will.
Take care,
Sherry

"They" are conformity, frightened of the day when even "they" might (MIGHT, MIND YOU) have an original thought, a creative moment, a need to be different. "They" walk among us, and my dear Eddie M, you needn't look very far to find 'them'... "they" are US! Egads!

Even kids with green hair, 47 rings in 47 body parts, who think that Emmenem is DEEP, are conforming... if you want to drive 'them' into the sea, wringing their hands, just tell the truth, believe in yourself, like yourself, and (this is the best part) always allow others' to just be themselves... works every time. Great piece. (Were you the model for Rodin's The Thinker?) hehe... katy xox

Obviously - 'They' are our nasty wives, mothers, sisters, and female significant others - who love to give 'Us' a hard time. Bummer.
