True enough.  Turley really shows a big lack of wisdom here.
 
Democracy was tried in the Greek city states.  It often became mob rule.  True
democracy really doesn't work.  It was the mob rule of a city state that
condemned Socrates.
 
But the subject is whether the excuse "everyone else is doing it" is a good
reason to do it yourself.  It's not.  Though we all probably think it from time
to time, it is not something to brag about.
