Deeper the silence...
"The deeper the silence, the worse what's to come." That from Sarah Hoyt on Instapundit (see link above).
Is that an argument for silence, for a hellish din? Could it mean that if you don't want the worse to happen, wouldn't it be better to make one hellacious racket? It is hard to say from this context what is being implied or advocated from one Ms. Hoyt.
Curtis Sliwa is running for mayor of New York. He is known for being the organizer of the Guardian Angels. I read one of his books once upon a time. His theory for dealing with an attack is to MAKE NOISE. Lots of noise. Bad guys don't like noise. It alerts the community that something that shouldn't be happening is happening or about to happen. Bad guys don't want noise.
That's why you get all the censorship. Now is the time to do something. Now is the time to say something. It may be the only chance you get. Now is the time. Being quiet about things may invite the worst. That's one way to interpret what Ms. Hoyt is saying.
My own gut instinct and experience suggest that it may be the one sure way to stave off an impending attack.
