I was recently reading Charles Mackay's famous book, Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds , which discusses some of the major popular delusions like the Mississippi bubble, the tulip mania, the south sea bubble, the alchemists, the witch mania, crusades etc., of the known human history.

Such naive thinking is a result of years of pro-State brainwashing in State controlled schools.  I also wonder how many people have actually read the Jan Lokpal Bill before joining Anna Hazare and his movement. If they have not then I strongly advise them to do that first. The bill is suppose to give immense powers to the...
