It\u2019s actually applicable to all of us: &#8216;The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one\u2019s self in the ranks of the insane.\u2019 Now, to me, this is brilliant. Independents and moderates do precisely this. They sit around and they wait for a majority to form and then they join it, because they can feel like they\u2019re part of the majority. They wait to see what makes \u2019em feel best, and then they join it, and they often end up joining the ranks of the insane. You could say this about global warming opposition. The easy thing to do is to believe it. &#8216;Oh, yeah, there\u2019s all kind of global warming and it\u2019s manmade. Yeah.\u2019 Get in on it because everybody will applaud you. But you\u2019re joining the ranks of the insane if you do that because you\u2019re seeking to be part of the majority, and so I just love this quote. <\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Marcus Aurelius: &#8216;The object of life&#8230;\u2019 By the way, Eric from Tampa, if you\u2019re still out there and you\u2019re heading over to Middlesex University, this is a great quote to take with you, or for any kid going off to college.
