Silent Protesting

I learned many things during my years at school: I learned about my countries history, I learned that A2 + B2 = C2 and I learned that silent protesting gets you no where if you don't do it right.

It's not that I have a problem with any of the causes that people are supporting but the way most people do it is just not logical. What is putting tape over your mouth and not talking to anyone for a whole day suppose to do? Oh sorry, I almost forgot that we all are psychic and can read each others minds so when we want to know their cause for being silent we can just read their minds.

Come on you guys, we got poster all over talking about how "silence hurts" and telling us to speak up about whats going on. If you're going to be silent about a protest then at least wear a sign or carry cards or something that will be able to tell people who see you why you are doing what you are doing.

But I guess being silent is the answer now since the first amendment right which gives of the freedom of speech and assembly don't really matter any more since it's so old. Plus who needs to talk when we can just read each other minds?
