Eat Your Peas

A fascinating article on the Big Think site talks about the difference between someone leading a movement (Ceaser Chavez, Gandhi) and someone leading a religion. Turns out, sometimes there's not that much difference. At least, not in the leader. In the followers, though, it matters if they see their current lot as transitory (we need a movement!) or part of their personal identity (..why hast thou forsaken me?) Along the way, it discusses whether the we in the United States is, or always should be, all of us.
