"The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member, but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest."
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American naturalist/poet/philosopher.
Possibly cruel to say but true in concept.
The best of any group can act less so while the least capable cannot immediately become something they are not.
It is the group's responsibility to resist becoming the lowest common denominator.
