Dealing with volunteers for many years, it has seemed that people think we are a TV society - a society that allows us to only turn the switch on or off - or to just switch channels. People don't seem to think that they can cause things to happen. Change the plot or script so to speak.
When we really step on some toes (which we do on occasions) ; someone always says to me "I can't believe you said that."
Issues need to be discussed and hammered about, not just turned on or off. Negotiation, compromise and discussion is what freedom is all about.
Computers are allowing for much greater interactivity - such as this blog - where you can add your comments, ideas or suggestions. To stay silent means: you are afraid or embarassed to express yourself; the issue is of no importance to you; or you feel that making any expression will have no result on the issue discussed.
Our elected officials are very accessible as a rule. Have you taken time to talk to them ?
Imagine being in a job where you came in every day, but you had no direction or assignment of work to do. Be pretty boring and unchallenging, wouldn't it ?
Challenge your elected officials and candidates to discuss your issues. They do work for you, but without your suggestion and direction they may do what you least want them to.

Blog about estate minnesota real red wing
Hi
Enjoyed the blog - nice to see someone else has activated their anonymous feature ;-)
I'm interested in investing in the real estate market in the US and am looking for some really cheap repossession properties in Beverley Hills, Santa Barbara, Denver, Colorado, San Francisco, Fort Lauderdale, Iowa, Hawaii, British Columbia, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New England, Minnesota, Miami, Florida, California, New York, Washington, Dallas, Texas, Chicago and Los Angeles. I've found a couple of really good sites - Bargain network which has some really cheap homes and Texas Ranches for sale - ranches in Texas plus both sites have beachfront villas and cars that have been repossessed and are really cheap!! Just wondering if there are any more sites like this.
Thanks for this.
John
