This is an excellent point that I think went unnoticed, or at least understated.

Silence is consent, boys and girls, and if you don't speak out and raise a little hell every now and then, we'll all just keep getting it in the booty from Uncle Sam. While in the meantime people will whine about the inherent injustices without doing anything to fight against them... And even worse than this, more and more people will be completely oblivious while they hand their (and everyone else's) rights away for a little short-lived, fuzzy, warm feeling from their government.

So, in my conclusion, I would like to say GET UP! SPEAK OUT! Shout it from a muthaf**kin rooftop if you have to! When your rights are being trampled, make sure everyone knows, and a few people with a little power and a little leverage will push back against the powers that be. Life may not be so bad now, but if we don't say something, it could get a lot worse. Then we'd all be stuck in an even more helpless state, wondering why no one did or said anything.

"Silence is the virtue of fools."
Francis Bacon
