Yeah, it's a real conundrum isn't it? :-) I think it was Richard Nixon who popularized the expression "great silent majority", invoking all those supposedly rock-solid, salt-of-the-earth, just plain folks everywhere who absolutely loved and agreed with everything Tricky Dicky said and did....but were too damn lazy and lobotomized by their TV's to actually get up and say anything about it in public!!! LOL! What a constituency! By 1974 there weren't enough of them left to keep Nixon in office, it seems.
