He told me it was a protest against the evils in Somalia-- Darfur-- the bailouts-- the tea party intolerance-- I questioned the intelligence behind this plan. How does silence bring about change? What if a King or a Lennon stayed silent? Silent marches tend to draw little attention I think he merely wants the temporary attention and faux-righteous sympathy from others. Silence makes for great introspection, but a lousy outcry.

My Friend & the Vow of Silence
He told me it was a protest against the evils in Somalia-- Darfur-- the bailouts-- the tea party intolerance-- I questioned the intelligence behind this plan. How does silence bring about change? What if a King or a Lennon stayed silent? Silent marches tend to draw little attention I think he merely wants the temporary attention and faux-righteous sympathy from others. Silence makes for great introspection, but a lousy outcry.
