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: <http://www.protevi.com/john/research.html> P
