Just MY opinion, but through out history those who are in the right, who DO have an idea of what is best are often the least vocal as a collective whole. Why, I don't really know for sure unless it is our desire to NOT make a scene, or to not want to anger or even possibly endanger others. And because of that we, as a whole, take it in the shorts from those who have many times no regard for anyone other than themselves.
Just my cent and a quarter (inflation don't ya know)
