"Not that it matters, but I was -1.5 years old. Unless you were physically present, then we have exactly the same access to evidence."

Oh but it DOES matter. At 15 you still had the mind of a child seeing everything from a teenager's point of view. Mature adults viewing what happened at Kent State would form a much different opinion, due to their expanded vision of life :)

Why do you continue to argue about something you are so wrong on? There are none so blind as those that will not see...

"Oh but it DOES matter. At 15.."

Actually, that is negative one point five. As in my parents were still in running trials for my conception.

And no it does not matter. My opinions when I was 15 much less a year before I was conceived are irrelevant, I am now in my mid thirties.

Using my age at the time of the event to invalidate my opinions now is known as an ad hominem; An attempt to win the argument by attacking the person rather than the argument. Generally a sign of having no position to argue from but with your "expanded vision of life" I guess you already knew that.

I suppose you have no valid opinions of the civil war or WWII?

He wasn't even born! LOL

And yes, many times age DOES matter; in more ways than the very young are willing to allow.

Nobody,NOBODY, who was little, or who wasn't even born in the late '60s early '70s, will ever really be able to understand what those times were really like. No book and most assuredly no contemporaneous newspaper or magazine, is going to be able to allow someone who didn't live through those years, a true understanding. It was all so visceral; so of the moment and emotional, that the written word is a difficult medium with which to transfer it all; let alone actually being able to find unbiased reportage of it.
