@Tussock No, we ought never have a passive citizenry. In fact I believe that positive change is generated through a manageable level of conflict. Strong debate underpins a healthy democracy. If we were all passive, society would stagnate.
Don't confuse my approach as being one I want to imprint onto others. I'm happy for others to have the conflict, and I'm happy to help manage it.
I also like to encourage a prismatic view of things as opposed to a binary one. Accordingly, I often find myself marooned in the middle unable to take a strong view on issues. At times I don't like being like that that very much.
