Recruits for the Misfit Army: Wise Words from Gustave Le Bon

He starts with a quote from Gustave:

“Among the most important characteristics of our age we must mention the presence, in the midst of society, of a number of individuals who, for one reason or another, have been unable to adapt themselves to the necessities of modern civilization, and are unable to find a place therein.  They form a superfluity which cannot be utilized. They are the unadapted.” - Gustave Le Bon, The Psychology of Socialism (1899)

Great stuff.
