Four Dead and Fifty Years
Sometimes living at the lake offers quite the contrast to life outside our community. This is even more so exaggerated with the lock down executive orders from our governor. Yes in Michigan, we as a state have had some of the most oppressive lock downs laws. Granted we have our outsized share of the Covid cases and deaths as well. However most of the cases and deaths have been concentrated around Detroit and the suburbs.
Michigan is a rather large state made up of two state sized land masses. The low number of cases in the out laying areas really have some folks literally up in arms. We have been having basically weekly armed rallies at the state capital building.
From all accords tension in the populace seems to be building and building. Frankly it is a powder keg that one can almost feel especially when watching the news reports of the demonstrations. Business groups are suing the governor over the prohibition to conduct their livelihood. Even out state legislature has sued and is trying to pass legislation that would definitively end the emergency powers that she is using, yet she promises to veto that.
Now we are hearing reports that she is considering to further extend the lock down past the end of the month. With all the protests and arms, I hope we dont have another Kent State massacre. It was just 50 years ago that the National Guard opened fire on the students at Kent State that were protesting the war in Vietnam. Of course the shooting left four killed, nine others injured, and this song about the incident.
