Talk about Scary
You know, it seems to me, that maybe in the last few decades, we've gone too far in expecting compliance, even silence in regard to what we see in our corporate and government environs. Confidential ethics hotlines are set up for corporate whistleblowers. Children are taught, "Don’t talk to strangers!"
That evolves into the young recruit being told to consider, "Don’t ask, Don’t tell." And from further back than my grandparents, (probably further back than just the Victorian Era) "Don’t speak unless spoken to" and "They should be seen and not heard."
Has America’s Twenty-first Century citizenry become the silenced children?
