May 5

Good Afternoon.

I wanted to take a break from the usual postings here at the blog to post this:
Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are gunning us down.
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
On this day in 1970, National Guardsmen fired on demonstration protesting the invasion of Cambodia and Nixon Administration's policies in Vietnam.

Four died and nine were wounded.

Here's a picture to look at.

And here's an overview from answers.com.

A few moments, please, for Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder.

I don't like your politics, and I think Dean is an idiot that will hurt your cause, but I applaud the grass-roots efforts you put forth for your cause.

Good luck on the show (you'll understand if I don't tune in).

How could we let this happen? for just expressing an opinior?

And now......the barbarians are at the gate....once again.....
