it is a force which not many people can successfully resist.
What is its seat? The inborn requirement of self-approval."

-- jim k, Austin
I like it a lot. A great observation. Self-approval / peer pressure for most is a great motivator. Conforming can also be based on ignorance, physical or other fears, love, etc. -- Mike, Norwalk 1
