“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”

Ava singing to them to Lock ya Gates!!  So many have to be lead here, it shows how silly we have become.

The quote above was taken from Harry Pottter and the Goblet of Fire.....  I have many times watched how people treat those less privledged than they are and I agree with JK.    From my own experience it's mob mentality.   At times humanity can be as horrid as it comes.  People are sheep.  People across the board have a great deal of difficulty thinking for themselves,  preferring to be lead by the nose by others.

The Girls being Koalas at the Energy Festival in Bellingen.

Here is a group of people not  being quite themselves as most are being Koala's.  There is something very intriguing about getting behind a mask.   Masks have been used in ancient ceremony, enabling the mask wearer to take on the personality of the mask / God.  

A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment. Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body, so in parts of Australia giant totem masks cover the body, whilst Inuit women use finger masks during storytelling and dancing.
