Sort of. A lot of people believe that their opinion in its self is power. They can do nothing aside from entertain their own personal interests as they stumble through life and yet still feel as if they they can change the course of the world by thinking and saying things from time to time.
Unfortunately, we currently have (and have had for a long while) a political climate that enables such a belief.
We won't for much longer.
'Put up or shut up' will be more than a catch-phrase in our near distant future.
At least the way I see things.
