Protests have been a part of our lives almost since the invention of the opinion. But to be effective, the nature of the protest must be expressed in a way that those seeing the protest will understand.

The first protest which I personally instigated was intentionally subtle, but those who recognized what was going on needed only a once-sentence justification to understand and know that they could not really disagree with an obvious point.

One current form of protest seems to be causing some controversy, even though it involves some symbolism which most adults and older children should be able to understand.

Blessed Be!
