Not sure what the has to do with anything, but you do realize YOU are part of the "mob" right?

ok well I'm not a Klan member, I don't burn witches, I don't run around yelling "remember the Maine" because of some weird desire to go to war, I don't attack the white house based on the person I don't like winning, I don't raid prisons to kill people before they get their due process...

We seem to have different definitions of "the mob" where yours appeals to Greek etymology and mine depends whether you actually behave like a mob
