The young greens don't remember this and, while probably thinking they are heralding a utopia, their ideas are really quite against social justice.

I could get into serious thread drift here but....

I suspect it is in the nature of things that "the young" stir the possum with an uncompromising and very "black and white" view of the world in general and some issues in particular. And that us oldies (chronologically gifted?) who've "seen it all before", especially if they/we belong to the group that says "been there, done that, bought the T shirt", gently mock or actively deride their actions. And oldies tend to know,already, more songs about the events while the young are writing ones about their "new" concerns.

Both groups have some strengths (and weaknesses) but society does change a bit here and there and often much of the change is for the better. More of the changes would be 'better' and more productive if more of us engaged actively in the discussions and wrote better songs.

Which is why I like this aspect of Mudcat. Even though I'm hopeless at writing.
