I was pondering the question of why Kent State should have a 'meaning'
distinct from, say, Columbine, or that horrifying incident reported recently
in which four or five out-of-campus students were shot dead with no 'for' or
'because' to explain. To say 'because' they were in the wrong place at the
wrong time just seems too absurd.

So I remembered hearing John Protevi give a paper on violence, and looked to
see if there's anything by him out there that's relevant. It's a paper
called Affect, Agency and Responsibility: The Act of Killing in the Age of
Cyborgs, which can be found here:
