To me all the geese (Canada geese) in the park look the same, but maybe in their eyes
they see many individual differences. And maybe it is that way with "silent majority";
even though outsiders see only conformity, maybe for them, within that
conformity there is much space for non-conformity (individualism). A further comparison,
maybe: nothing is more conformist than the military, but even there extraordinary
acts of individual initiative and bravery are praised.
