Reply #10: No matter the circumstances, we need critical thinkers and we need more of them [View All]

[Solly Mack]

Words are often all it takes to lead to a movement - to be an instrument for change. Words give our ideas the body they need to reach others. But words need action as well. Ideas need to be put into play. David Swanson does put his words into action. He does act upon his beliefs.

Is it enough to call, write, go door to door? No...but those things still must be done. We also need to join with others who share our beliefs/goals and work toward the things we would like to see happen. Some ideas...some thinking...isn't popular...is sometimes very scary...may even be ahead of the times we live in...but that change will never come...that goal will never be reached...if we remain silent. A voice can move mountains when that voice inspires others.
