   This has been quite funny. Thank you. :-)

   IMHO,  the  problem  with  consensus  is  that, like
Ortega  y  Gasset  said  in _The Revolt of the Masses,_
"The  thing  is suspicious, because people don't use to
agree if not about things that are a little wicked or a
little silly" (I'm translating from the original).

   I  would recommend Erich Fromm's _The Sane Society._
It  has  something  to  say  about  mass conformism and
disguised authoritarianism.

   Best wishes,
