What age and authority dictates, sound logic equates

            I will not so humbly attribute this statement to yours truly. Logic is the great leveller for everybody. We use logic in practically every aspect of our concious thinking. There are exceptions to this rule, and these are (not comprehensive in any way) :

1. Religion - faith will always trump logic, but then God works and behaves in mysterious 
    ways.

    Religion will always have their followers, so I will not even want to tread there. 

2. Consumer behaviour - this again is very hard to predict. Crazy unexpected queues for 
    non-sensical soft toys like Hello Kitty and the Minions in Singapore lead me to believe that   
    there is no hope for humanity. Maybe its just Singaporeans who have illogical bouts of 
    collective behaviour !
  
    The fact that it was touted as a limited edition, and reports of people throwing their junk 
    food away (actually that is quite a logical act, but the purchase of McDonalds food just to 
    get their hands on a soft toy is an illogical act in itself)

                                       Nothing better to do than to queue for my Hello Kitty 

3. Impulse Purchases - Branded Bags, Holiday feel good shopping, Fridge Magnets, 
    Crummy T-shirts telling everyone where you've been, the list is endless. Everyone has 
    that (or many) shirts or dresses in their wardrobe which has been hanging there and the 
    guy or girl is wondering, 'now why did I buy THAT ???'.   

    Logic does not have a linear correlation with age, in fact, sometimes the older we get, the crankier or eccentric we become. that is when we become 'one screw loose' or 'lose our marbles' or 'Woodbridge' (mental hospital's previous name) case.

     Common sense or logic is not so common then after all ? 

     Cherish the logic you (and I) have. For that separates the normal from the truly brilliant. Go beyond that and people may call you Mad.  Normal people want to follow rules and regulations so that they do not have to apply logic to the situation. That applies to 98% of the population.

    'Just Follow Law'.
