Hey, Get Your Own Ideas

I can really relate to Saunder's opinion of "the man with the megaphone" because I see it happening all the time, especially with myself. If there is one person who attracts a lot of attention talking, everyone in the area is naturally going to listen to him/her, whether intentionally or not. As they listen, the ideas the person with the "megaphone" is speaking about drift into their minds as true, no matter how absurd, and they begin to connect their conversations with that of the Megaphone Man. This has happened to me a lot-when I am talking to a friend, surrounding people start to follow up on my conversation amongst themselves; I find that as stealing some one else's thoughts, and it is extremely annoying. Still, I am guilty of building off of someone else's conversation, usually when I have my own opinion on the matter or when around someone who isn't easy to talk to. In this sense, the Megaphone Man can be very helpful in creating conversations-whether idiotic or not.
