35 years ago today

Kent State was 35 years ago today.

Allison Krause, Sandra Scheuer, Jeffrey Miller and William Schroeder we were unarmed, registered, full time students at Kent State University when they were killed by Ohio National Guard bullets on May 4, 1970. Eight other students were wounded.
"You know, you see these bums, you know, blowin' up the campuses. Listen, the boys that are on the college campuses today are the luckiest people in the world, going to the greatest universities, and here they are, burnin' up the books, I mean, stormin' around about this issue, I mean, you name it —- get rid of the war, there'll be another one." -- Richard Nixon, New York Times, May 2, 1970
It's sad, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.
