think of all the great people who have stood up the establishment over the years and what wouldn't have happened if they kept quiet;

martin luther
martin luther king jnr.
the list goes on......
Exactly. You said it. And it's good to see someone who doesn't consider themselves liberal/progressive saying this. I have a hard time finding people that will say this unless they are considered liberal/progressive.
