Re: Gerry Lundquist comments that we don't need to join demonstrations against racism, etc.
The philosopher John Stuart Mill addressed that issue in 1867:
"Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing."
Sometimes we have a responsibility to get out and shout about things.
