Public Policy Matters
Rational Public Policy with Common Sense requires a well informed and engaged public. Apathy and indifference won't keep us safe or secure.

Expression is one thing. Building Consensus is yet another! view | edit | list
Anyone can express their views or opinions, and many do. Such is encouraged throughout the internet.
More constructive, is the dedicated effort to work with responsible groups to seek consensus where it may be found.
A responsible group is one that holds itself to reasonable standards of integrity and truth telling, unlike the behavior exhibited in this example.
Of course, reasonable standards of integrity would not accommodate subordinating the pursuit of truth or justice to an unhealthy level of value placed on social acceptance or approval at the expense of truth.
Corrupt organizations and institutions, who seek the perpetuation of their own interests at the expense of truth and cosmic harmony and balance, promote such warped values along with the "essential" value of false harmony (quiet acquiescence to injustice in the false name of a greater good) to accomplish the exploitation of the ignorant and naive.
