People looking for recognition or renown tend to refer, obnoxiously, as "The voice of the Silent Majority", or "those who stand for the silent majority", etc.

Well here's an idea. Just to even things out, i'll stand for the loud minority.

Why? Several reasons. The "Silent Minority" are the kind of people who think the Queen should have total power, the kind of people who think Rock music is the work of Satan, the kind of people who couldn't tell the difference between a punk, a metalhead, a hippy and a chav, but just refers to them collectively as "Youths", the kind of people who bang on and on about equality to those around them, but still use Gay, N****r, Paki, etc. as insults mindlessly. These are the people who run our government, these are the people who watch "reality" crap like Big Brother or Pop Idol, these are the people who claim to praise those who achieve, but really hammer and taunt those who achieve or try to change things for the better, but praise and uphold those who revert back to the mould and destroy advances.

"Why are these people silent?" I hear you ask. I'll tell you why, among the many faults they have, they're also the people who can't be arsed going out to vote because "one vote doesn't really matter". They're the people who say "someone should do something about that" without ever actually lifting a finger themselves. They're the people who keep their thoughts bottled up in their head rather than letting the whole world hear, for fear that they might escape the mould - oh horror of horrors!

The loud majority, as they would theoretically be called, are the movers, the changers, the people who don't just sit on their fat arses all day bitching about what's wrong with the world and actually go out and try to do something about it, the people who will let their voices be heard like a lone voice in the silence of dark insanity. In the words of the infamous 'Think Different' adverts, "These are the people who change things." Admittedly, many choose the wrong choice - and act on them - but in the long run, even those who had chosen the wrong path still do good. Where would we be without the medical advances brought on by the drug obsessions of the 19th century or the animal testing of the 20th? Where would equal-sex rights be without the first world war which granted women the vote thanks to the work done by the Suffragists? Where would Germany be without the great reeperbahns and economy created by the infamous and murderous national socialists? Or even where would modern music be without the Rock and Blues that spawned from the Black Slavery in the US?

Just to round this off, i'll end with this; Achieve something, if you have an opinion on something, don't just sit there bitching about it lie millions of others, DO something about it. And you hear the people who are doing something about it? Ignore the age-old teachings passed down through generations of your family, ignore the ancient mottos of the culture which is turning you into sheep, listen to the round pegs in the square holes - because from them will come the greatest advice you're ever likely to hear in your life.
