38 Years Since Ohio's Kent State

This is what the body of your post will look like:
"On May 4, 1970, four students at Kent State University in Ohio were killed by Ohio National Guardsmen at an on-campus march to protest NixonÕs invasion of Cambodia five days earlier. Those of us who remember Kent State first hand (I was in first grade, the daughter and granddaughter of KSU professors) know the Òorder to fireÓ did not come from some commander. The contempt for the life of the Òdirty f**king hippiesÓ came from Ohio Governor Rhodes, J. Edgar Hoover, and Richard Nixon. In 1970, the Vietnam war was going horribly wrong, the public that was waking up incredibly quickly, and the President and his administrationÕs reaction was not only to stay the course but to dig in their heels and question the patriotism of anyone who did not go along.

We do not need anyone to tell us that there is an ÒIraq-Vietnam Link.Ó The ÒVietnamizationÓ of this war is happening before our eyes.

"The publisher of Thrashers Wheat, the best of the many Neil Young fan sites, put together a post with pictures and videos over at DownWithTyranny. TonightÕs song, predictably, is ÒOhioÓ by CSNY, the song Neil wrote when he read about the shootingsÐ and saw the horrifying and galvanizing photos in Life, a spread that pretty much set the course for a crumbling of any support left for Nixon and his agenda. CSNY released a single immediately and included a live version on an album the following year but it wasnÕt until 1974, when they put out So Far that a studio version was available on LP. There are few songs that I can remember in my life that had as profound an impact on politics. SoÉ why arenÕt students protesting the war in Iraq? Is it because they like the warÐ or donÕt care about it (since there is no draft right now)? Or is it because theyÕre afraid Bush will do to them what Nixon did to the four dead in Ohio?"
