Thread Name: Why sing protest songs to each other?
Subject: RE: Why sing protest songs to each other?
Why do we sing?
Why do we post here?
Why do we say anything, anywhere?
Because we have an opinion.
We are interested in somethings.
Why do we wear clothes of a certain colour? Because we can. Because it makes us comfortable.

The songs we choose to sing say something about us. And that comforts us. If we are uncomfortable singing we don't. If the song does not accord with us, we refrain.

It may make us feel we are changing the world, that comforts us. It is changing the world, a minuscule portion.

Why do cars have windows all around? Because it makes us better informed. We see the other side. We would like others on the road of life to know there is another side. Lest they don't see something coming and involve us in their ignorance.
