The Silent Majority

[fossten]

The questions I have are as follows:

1. How long will the silent majority remain silent

2. When will we know it is time to speak up (and I don't mean verbally)

Unfortunately, it often times takes something dramatic for that to change. Though sometimes it's something quite benign.

2. When will we know it is time to speak up (and I don't mean verbally)

I don't know, when the other reasonable options have been exhausted. People really need to be careful to no romanticize that concept. Either way, any political action, regardless the form, is most effective when done as a community with a noble goal.

Yeah well, most of America wasn't involved in the war in 1775. It doesn't have to be a unanimous thing any more than the winner of the election does.
