So making public political protest is pointless? Let's all just sit back doing and saying nothing, that'll show 'em! Just because Herbert is making a more obvious political point, doesn't mean that it detracts from his brilliant music. Not to mention how interesting it makes his live shows. Anyone else see him at the RFH recently doing the big band thing?
