"If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem."
"Anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the subject gets to abstain."
(two different people)
I agree with both of the above. In fact I would amplify the second to:
Anyone who doesn't have an opinion is morally obligated to abstain.
There are too many decision makers who don't when they should.
However, that doesn't absolve anyone of the responsibility to get some
facts and then an opinion on matters of importance (I missed the original
but I presume it was) because there are too many people who would rather
stick their heads in the sand. If the world is to become a better place
it will only happen by us caring enough to form opinions and do something.
