Some Thoughts About Posts From Friends

Post-Ferguson, I'm seeing that everyone has an opinion. My opinion: I think it's time for those of us not directly affected - and doing no more than posting outrage on a keyboard - to move on. Ignore the media. Enjoy your Thanksgiving

I'm with you. have no place to say anything because it has nothing to do with me. I've signed and shared a few petitions, but that's all I can do. I'm trying to ignore all the noise, because like you said, so much of it is just people behind a keyboard. People think that having a social media account and an opinion makes them an activist. But none of those opinions are really adding anything meaningful to the discussion, and are drowning out the voices we really need to be listening to.

It's like a saying I read recently: "Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak."

That's a good saying.
