[Vision2020] Pro-war songs'

[Robert Dickow]

Worley's song is actually rather a nice one, and does a great job of
stirring up anger and stuff. Too bad it's such a good song. It's a shame
such sentiments have to be reinforced, we need to keep a collective calm
head...insofar as possible. Reason should prevail.

But I come back to the age old question: Does art mold society, or does it
simply reflect it? Maybe both, but to what degree and in what fashion? Does
squelching such artistic sentiments really change anything?

'Ars credendum ergo siccum vernaculus bachanalus verum, causum bankus
accountae vides!'
