"Once you see something, you can't un-see
it. Once you know something, you can't un-know it." Arundhati Roy.
Her complete words include:
"The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no innocence. Either way, you're accountable."
If we don't speak up, our silence is often taken as a "yes"...... Silence speaks volumes....and is often interpreted wrongly…..but it is interpreted none the less.

We are all activists....whether we want
to be or not. The very things that injure, and kill, people are too often the
very things that keep too many mega-corporations alive. The concept that
corporations are, legally, the same as people, and have the same
protections and rights with the use of their money as we do with our free
speech, is just plain wrong. That concept is ruining our country.....
economically, for the middle class, and environmentally for everyone…..see
Global Climate Change, Fracking, & high sulfur oil.
