Silence is bad

I can infer from the lack of comments, that what i say doesn't sit well with people. If i am wrong correct me.

The worst thing for a democracy is silence. People that kept silent when others were silenced led to Nazis in Germany. "We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information."(Edward Murrow) His words ring true even today, when movies that expose the horror of our own government are seen in few theaters, while a movie like "Little Man" sees a giant release.

If we stay silent and avoid all that is controversial than we fail as citizens of this country. The government belongs to us, not to a few individuals following thier own dreams of American domination.

I say we must take back our government by letting our representatives know what we want. Speak out about what you beleive in. Whatever you do dont stay silent.

and now to be cheesy
Good Night and Good Luck
