Since there are many, how about just 3 (for the case of mob mentality as it relates to so-called Black Friday)?[/quote]
I said there were many rational explanations for various irrational behaviors, not for each irrational behavior. For instance, if a schizophrenic hears voices telling him to kill his mailman, and he kills him, there’s one rational explanation for that. The poor bastard had schizophrenia.
As far as black Friday behavior goes, it’s just basic human nature. You put a bunch of people in a position where they’ve been listening to hype for weeks, they’ve been waiting in line for hours, their adrenaline is flowing, the moment they’ve been waiting and preparing for arrives, and they can’t think of their fellow man any more, only the coveted goal that awaits them if they push and run and grab. So they push and run and grab.
It doesn’t take much to make humans, especially in a group, act irrationally. They’ve certainly been doing it since long before any of the aforementioned chemicals were invented.
So I still don’t understand why you think this is “one of the best explanations.” Please enlighten.

Preservatives, colorants, antibiotics, dyes and many other chemicals in our food
Chem trails
Vaccinations
The pharma industrial complex has us on all types of drugs
I’m sure there is some biological effect from all of this junk being ingested by so many Americans.

You’re sure? How are you sure? And what makes you think that the “biological effect” is strong enough to modify our behavior? Do you have any proof? Any evidence? Anything at all besides random b.s. youtube videos?
Also, if you think that all these chemicals are adversely affecting our health and our behavior, do you think the government should step in and more aggressively regulate these chemicals?
