      Holly crap. I'm watching a documentary on the Kent State shootings, and it's incredibly depressing to watch. Footage of people saying, literally, that they were sorry the National Guard didn't kill more students were featured. This reminds me that such attitudes are not new.

      Then, in the weak afterward, there was a demonstration in NYC. Hard hat construction workers waded into the crowd of protesters, beating them as they went, and Wall Street traders cheered them on. If you think the division now is bad, go back 48 years.

      One thing that was very different then compared to now was illustrated by footage of a press conference included in the documentary. The press didn't let Nixon get away with anything. They badgered him about whether there was a revolution going on.

          Even more amazing was Nixon's 5 AM trip to the Lincoln Memorial, where he basically held a rap session with protesters. Incredible.

          One irritating aspect of this documentary is that it features Pat Buchanan too much. Also,. Eric Sevareid was more of a reactionary asshole than I remember. Of course, I was just a kid then and paid only little attention to politics.

          I mean, seriously. Eric Sevareid basically said the protesters had it coming.

          Oddly enough, this documentary gives me some hope. There were actual violent divisions back then. There were clashes in the streets. Maybe someone older than I can say if things were worse then than now.
