As we watch the various riots and protests in the Middle East we see something very interesting. We see a lot of colors being used. When Hezbollah marched in the streets of Lebanon everyone had yellow flags, and they were waving them frantically in complete hysteria. And they were chanting slander against the Jews and Israel.

Indeed, there were thousands, even tens of thousands in the streets marching with yellow-flags and wearing-yellow and carrying yellow-banners, yellow was everywhere. In the protests after the elections in Iran we noted that everyone was wearing-green and carrying green-flags. The movement against the government and the corrupt elections was signified by green.

Even the soccer players for the Iranian national team who were away playing in a foreign country were wearing green-armbands and green-collars on their shirts. Although this is interesting, and also has a psychological component to it, it does pose some other philosophical questions. We know that communists consider the color red to be their color and they marched down the streets in unison carrying red-flags, red-banners, and wearing red- uniforms.

In Ancient times Indian tribes also used colors to gather unity and to strengthen the mob before they attacked. Obviously there is something with humans and the mob-mentality that has to do with colors.

In the streets of Los Angeles there are gangs called the Bloods and they used red, and a gang called the Crips used blue. If you ask our real Cryp if they bleed, which color will they bleed; they will tell you blue! Seriously it's true. So what is it with human beings, and the mass-mob-mentality that brings the colors to life? There is more to it than you think. Perhaps you should read up on some research about this?
