Wow! What a great article! Swarm mentality.

You really should take some time on a lunch break or send it home to yourself, and read this article. It is 5 pages long and goes over various types of animals and the types of group behaviour they exhibit. It is very fascinating as well as applicable in our lives.

We are just scrapping the surface of what this type of thinking can accomplish. My immediate thoughts went to the disastrous administration we now have, and how amazing it would be if our society could function cooperatively like an ant colony or elk pack does.

Admittedly this is probably not really within the realm of possibility when dealing with humans, but a fascinating exercise in contemplation none the less!
