'Fifty-five years ago this spring, students at Kent State University protested the Vietnam War. Four students were killed by the National Guard and 9 others were injured. Their crime? “Pro-Palestinian activity.” Oh, wait — I think maybe it was “Pro-Vietnamese activity.” I can’t remember exactly. The tune has changed, but the song stays the same. And so does the inaction of those who let it happen.'

It's tough being old and remembering events the young think of as "history," irrelevant to today's issues. I returned from Vietnam in April 1970 and I hate to say what I thought upon hearing about Kent State. Some things are never healed by time.
Relevant then, relevant now.

I used to think #MichaelMoore was an asshole but I've since changed my mind. Now, I think #Americans need to take his writings more seriously and act on them.
