Oh, college students do love to have a “cause.” Why would they be giddily high-fiving in the midst of a bonfire? Here’s the explanation.
Fortunately for them, the Japanese dropped a bomb on Pearl Harbor a few months later, and they were sent off to war instead of this foolishness.
I Don't Get It 
I probably should make some snide remark about how frivolous this protest is ,but then I look at stuff that “offends” some folks these days.

We seem to judge the importance of actions and concerns based on the limits if our knowledge and understanding and context. So on a daily commute a flat tire will sour a day. But if you happen to be being transported to your execution, then a flat tire can be seen as a gift from God. Same flat tire same place same vehicle. Somewhat different interpretations. I was having a beer on the front porch with a colleague when a local female teen dropped by to visit his younger brother. She regailed us with how bad her day was and how terrible it was that she nicked her leg while shaving. She termed it the worst day of her life. My colleague and I started to laugh and mentioned that if that was her worst day so far, she had a big surprise coming.
The only thing I can say about the college students above is that their demonstration says clearly that they have been raised in a protected, sheltered, “me” environment. Which i suppose maens they were at least kept safe, if not taught about the mor eimportant concepts in life.

Yes, the drama of a nicked leg. I suppose you are right about that flat tire. That reminds me of the cartoon I just saw where a criminal is given his last meal and he asks for Coke and they ask if Pepsi is okay. Poor thing.
It’s easy to fight battles when you are young and energetic. I barely have the patience to light a candle, much less keep a fire going and chopping radios with axes.

This was the forefather of the Napster battles a half-century later, actually and really, Kerbey, college students against the music industry. It’s always been youth against The Man.

This was nothing compared to what those crazy kids did to protest the film debut of “Joan of Arc”.
