Thread Name: No protest songs anymore?
Subject: RE: No protest songs anymore?
Lanfranc, thank you for responding to my comments. I guess I was partly upset that I was stoved in a stereotypical niche and partly because a fair amount of what you said is true and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of so many people being apathetic and meekly accepting the system just because they don't have the time, inclination, or guts to change it. I have met some highly motivated young people who say "skrew the odds, we're going to try anyway" and I admire and applaude those people because that's how the world changes. However there seem to be far too many people who say "skrew trying to change things because it won't happen." That's how tyrants stay in power and how injustice continues longer than it should. I try to be in the former group.

Again, thank you for responding. Maybe I was a little too harsh but I don't regret the views that I expressed.
