And no one needs to answer this, but if I say "Kent State" to you, what's your first thought? And yes, "A school, I guess?" is a valid answer.



And yes, I do have a reason for asking.

Besides having 'Yote immediately come to mind? :)
The fact that they *still* riot every year on May 4th.
Every year.

(But *before* I met 'Yote? Yes, the words Kent State = "Kent State Shooting". And the moment I heard he was from Kent, I asked "You mean as in Kent State?" So yeah...)

T'was he, of course, who walked me around campus. And someone else, but now I can't remember who. But I remember, after we'd walked around in the rain and talked about it all, and I'd put my fingers in the bullet holes, and touched the bell, and sat in the pavilion, I just started to cry-- how senseless, how wrong, how stupid it had all been. And D.M. thanked me. For what? I asked. For understanding. For letting it get to you. For not brushing it off.

Oh, yes. It got to me.

Yep, that's my "bastard child of Abbie Hoffman and Jimmy Hoffa", bless his heart. Who doesn't stir shit up just to stir shit (or look tough, even though that's often the outward impression for those who aren't paying attention)...but because he feels things so very very deeply. *nods*

*hugs you*
I love your heart lady. :)

Wow.
