41 Years Ago



It seems like it was only yesterday, but in reality it was 41 years ago today that the horrible tragedy occurred where there was a massive shooting at Kent State University. I remember that day very well. It is still so very sad. I have visited the memorials at Kent State University a few times. While there was some controversy about the design, the memorial is a good one and does help us to remember (or for the younger, gives them a physical presence to hopefully stir them into learning about) this horrid event.

It is also the very day that my first niece was born as well. So, that was one positive.

  1. While the students weren't armed, and not all the trouble makers was students, they had been doing some pretty stupid things in the days running up to that event.

    That didn't give the guardsmen the right to just shoot them though. Something like that could happen again.

    If we has a country turned against this stupid government you can bet your ass that it would shoot us. All governments are geared toward saving their asses and protecting the right to govern.

    Right or wrong...

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
