The Most Noise

 "I know your race. It is made up of sheep. It is governed by minorities, seldom or never by majorities. It suppresses its feelings and its beliefs and follows the handful that makes the most noise. Sometimes the noisy handful is right, sometimes wrong; but no matter, the crowd follows it."  ~Satan, in The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain, ©1916

I want him to be wrong.  But he isn't.
