Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are cutting 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?

"How can you run when you know".
Ohio, a very powerful song. How can we run when we know?, indeed. And yet so very many of us do. From so many things. It's as easy as it is difficult to understand. People, like water, seek the path of least resistance, though it is often not the best way to get to where you need to be.
"Find the Cost of Freedom" by Stephen Stills, is another powerful song.
Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
It will again come down to that, as it has so many times in the past.
Freedom has never been free, or easy. Who of us will be ready when the bill comes due?
"Oh, that could never happen in America..."
Except for:
- Kent State
- Manzanar
- The Bonus Army
- Kenyon Ballew
- Waco
- Nauvoo
Others?
And remember, the National Guard is NOT the militia. it is part of the Federal Government's standing military machine.
