What is that sound?

[callady]

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~ Martin
Luther King, jr.

Can you hear it too? What is that sound? The sound that has the ability to drive a man
nuts. The sound of electricity buzzing in the lights. Yes, that is the sound of silence. A
sound that has spread across this nation like a disease. It's like sitting in a church when
everyone takes a moment to pray and suddenly you hear a baby start to cry. That’s what
we hear, the sound of helpless tears from mothers who hoped that their children would
outlive them. Yet, nobody runs to comfort her. The sound of nothing and an absence of
action to go with it. Silence, a sound foreign to America. A sound that is pleasing to kings
and crippling to peasants. For the rest of the world, this is America's real shock and awe,
its silence. The days are gone when all nations would look to see what American's were
saying. No longer do they look to America, simply because there is nothing to hear or see
here. America sits silent while lady Justice is raped. Just when did America lose it's voice?

Silence is the sound of surrender. The sound of fear. Creating fear is the quickest way to
achieve silence. Who benefits from the silence? Who would want to mute the mouths of
Americans? You ask yourself that question; don't run around asking everyone else until
you can answer it. It is not a trick question. It is a very simple question and has been
answered by generations of the past. Rome, Germany, Russia, France, and China are
prime examples of a people that were silent. As the past will prove, it is not an imaginary
organization that benefits from a nations silence. Indeed, it is the leaders of that nation’s
government which benefits from the silence.

If all of the trucks shut down on the side of the road, and all of the factory workers didn't
show up to work, it would only take one day for government to take notice. One day! That
is fact. What is your issue? High fuel prices? You will not get lower fuel prices by buying
fuel! You can't just wait for an elected official to decide it is enough. That's not going to
happen. Are we waiting for somebody honest to be elected president? Listen, it is not
going to happen!! We have to make them be honest. If we want results, it will take action
on our part. We have to take to the streets with our grievances. Petitions will not get us
anywhere. Apologies will not fix anything. We have to take action, the time is Now!
