no 5 student impressionable children i ve marched written poetry sung folk songs and gone to prison ive outprotested you all no 6 student egads i can t stand that im a better protester than you are attitude youth anonymous is where its at in courts jails and the streets fresh tracks by barbara mclhtosli hypocrites were a generation of demonstratorsits the cool way to be canadian young people have come out with long hair and microskirts to protest stuffy conformity in dress weve marched on high schools and universities to protest academic dictatorship weve supported sitins against racial discrimination weve come out strong with the conviction that we are the enlightened ones who reject old standards of love and outdated ideas of war but when the real test came we were as complacent as any other generation czechoslovakia is the victim of raw imperialism that was supposed to have gone out of style with the humiliation of nazi germany the russians blatant defiance of the united nations creed of which canada is a major supporter is disgusting and inexcusable but where are the demonstrationswhere are the protest buttons and the marches and the sitins at the russian embassy we were quick to pick up the antivietnam syndrome we sanction draftdodgers and wear peace buttons and parade in front of napalm producers we saw the individual being crushed by military and political bureaucracies and we objected the russian invasion of czechoslovakia is all of this and more as canadians we should feel more involved and more sympathetic for a young nation whose power has been stripped by a giant we should be converting our fever for protest into an antirussian cause the wishywashy verbal offerings to the united nations made in the past few weeks by our canadian representative have hardly been enlightening we should be demanding stronger lines and stronger language demonstrations have helped to get results in other cases american politicians are now trying desperately to find an easy way out of vietnam the russians are equally as concerned about their public image consider the effects of s strong pressure movement to have russian athletes excluded from the coming olympic games and what about a boycott of russian entertainers and products we know they are watching why not give them an eyeful of public condemnation if we allow the russians to get away with their takeover in czechoslovakia we might as well line up our love not war buttons on the nearest cnr line were hypocrites mtmhiimhmhmtmmaawhinmathmh no 1 student 1 protested p thos w mi about
