You’ve surely heard the protest chant:

“What do we want?

“[Insert social change here.]”

“When do we want it?”

“NOW!”

But imagine walking by a protest and hearing this:

“What do we want?”

“We’re not really sure!”

“When do we want it?”

“Whenever you get around to it is fine! Thank you!”

Doesn’t have the same ring to it.
