That is like asking who would be a best secret admirer. You do not see them.
Please explain the difference between an imaginary friend, a room full of imaginary friends, schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, delusion, hallucination, and the "silent majority."
1 An imaginary friend is someone children invent as a way to cope with life issues
2 Could not find this in print. Suggest some low cost counseling.
3 I believe it is having to versions of you. Kind of like the Spock with a beard.
4 One step farther. You are 2 separate people with no connection.
5 This would be you if you dont think I get the point here.
6 Thinking something that has been proven false is real, like the -5 myth or Truther crap.
7 I do not understand how this fits. I think the name is throwing you. I cannot prove that the silent majority is actually a majority. In the same way that both sides of issues like Abortion claim majorities, I am taking a little poetic license here.
Remember in High School when you were doing a class project and someone had to get up and speak to the class. It was always the same kids. Some people stand up and speak for others. Some people can make thier point in public better. Admiral Stockdale proved that even a war hero genius can look stupid in front of a crowd.
You want to dump these people in the trash heap of public debate. You want them to stand up so people like Snake and Anton can tear them down. The same macro-economics that makes letting a store that fails be crushed by Walmart logical does not apply in the market of ideas.
