I don't want to directly enter into this discussion about the role of mass
terms in collective insanity, but I recently came across the following
striking passage elsewhere, striking for its *avoidance* of mass terms.  It
seems to have something to do with the discussion, but I'm not sure what. 
Make of it what you will.

"When I went through adolescence, people in grey suits wanted to
force me to wear a green suit and go into a jungle and shoot at people
in black pajamas who were shooting back, and people in blue suits would
try to club me on the head if I complained."
