18. Avoid large gatherings

There is nothing wrong with large gatherings except the people there. So many people in one place, what could go wrong? It is just the numbers and the math. What percent are “crazy” and what percent will act out? Could the herd stampede? I do not know, but it feels like the chance is too high for my comfort zone. My usually optimistic nature is stressed by these large gatherings. That is not to say that I did not enjoy myself at Woodstock…but I was not as streetwise back then.
