Warning! This post contains a pretty ugly story but it is one that needs to be told. We all need to remember that these people are still out there.

Spaw, you are right about that being a bad old joke. At that time I was a full redneck backwoods hick, a Junior in high school and pretty ignorant of the world in general (and convinced I knew it all).

Among the rednecks at the time the answer to the peace symbol was to raise four fingers. It meant, "We got four of you bastards at Kent State!"

As I said, ugly but necessary. Look around you as you walk down the street and remember you cannot even guess what those people are thinking.
