Miscellaneous Musing #24

The division of mankind into two complementary parts is probably an oversimplification; I refer not to the sexes, but to leaders and followers.  The practice of categorizing everyone as either a leader or a follower rests on the assumption that everyone is part of the crowd, but some of us don't really care to be part of the crowd except under certain circumstances. (I, for instance, am quite content that someone else be in charge of things so long as they are done to my satisfaction; if they're not to my satisfaction, I want to take over, and do those things myself.)
