"The Electronic Herd cuts no one any slack. No one. It does not recognize anyone's unique circumstances. The herd knows only its own rules. But the rules of the herd are pretty consistent - they're the rules of the Golden Straitjacket...the Electronic Herd votes every minute of every hour of every day. Anytime you want to know, the herd will tell you exactly how you look in a Golden Straitjacket and whether it fits well or not...Today's Electronic Herd is like the tail of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and when it swings it reshapes the world around it in some fundamental ways."
