I must admit, this topic always tends to push my buttons. I have read of Milgrams experiments before, saw films, read analysis etc. but what I find so incredibly disturbing and frightening - and frankly, what makes me feel so alone in the world, is the fact that EVERYONE who hears about this thinks that it's terrible that people would do such a thing. Terrible that people would blindly follow the directions of authority...

Yeah, just like a good percentage of the people who are talking about how terrible it is and how weak those people must be would have done if they were in their place. Just like they accept immoral and unjust laws and rules placed on them by a government that they don't even trust. Just like they stand by and go along with it when that government sends it's soldiers, in their name, to die in a war that they do not believe we should be fighting. People will die and they will do nothing.
