Show KNOCKING THE KNOCKER. Shut up or got out is a piece of good advice for that pestiferous modern mod-ern parasite, the professional knocker. The knocker never sees anything about his community. He never does anything constructive, but spends his time complaining to anyone who will listen that things certainly ought to be different. Of course things should be different. dif-ferent. There is no community in the world which is perfect. But here are two ways to meet circumstances. One is by keeping still and going ahead consructively to make conditions condi-tions better; the other, by knocking the people, the government, the climate, cli-mate, and everything else that has to do with the community. The best thing is to boost your community avdertise its good points and try to remedy the bad ones without with-out giving them too much publicity. If you don't think it has any good points, the thing to do is to pack up and move out, hit the trail for some place that suits you better. Either shut up or get out. |
