A silent majority is easily silenced

People are saying that there is a silent majority out there that does not agree with what is happening to the country. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, hard to hear a silent majority when they are.....silent. People say there is a culture war going on, maybe there is, maybe there isn't, hard to tell when one side is not fighting.

One thing I do know is that times have changed, they always do and unless you change with the times, well time passes you by. It passes you by even faster when you are standing still, doing nothing and being silent. In fact in that condition you aren't really there at all, are you?

Here is an idea, stop being silent and take back the culture that you think is worth fighting for. How do you do that? Here is a simple start, take back something. If we really are a majority, silent or otherwise, then numbers matter, but they only matter if you don't begin by ceding the battlefield. If you don't show up you can't win. 

I'll give you a simple battlefield where numbers will matter and is now part of a culture that passes the silent majority by....Twitter. Stupid isn't it, who would want to spend time arguing in 240 characters with mostly anonymous people who don't like you and probably never will. So don't, you don't even have to write a thing, just support the people who are on your side. Support the causes that you care about. Read what people are saying and take a side and just support your side. If it is the new digital town hall shouldn't the majority control what is said there? It is really rather simple, but because we are the silent majority we think that we do not need to engage, but we do and if we don't...well we will remain silent until we are gone and the world will not be the same because we did not care to engage and were silent.
