We don't rally, riot or "social media".

We don't rally, riot or "social media".
We aren't angry.
By the time you notice us it's too late.
WE are the majority & we vote.

Democracy at work is a very quiet and powerful thing.

Like water, it appears soft and weak, but it overcomes the hardest things and penetrates the thickest walls.

Taoists also believe that aggression and violence are self-defeating.
