I have lost 10 friends on Facebook over this Zimmerman thing. I was going to do a Controversial Thursday post about it but since no one comments anymore on my blog anyways...I figure what would be the point of it.
If you feel the need to express your opinion than do so my Brother. Fans come and go. Look at me. I look successful but I only have the same 12 people commenting with me. Is that a lot of work for only 12 people. Yeh, but I take what I can get.
I love the opinions..., just don't defend yourself against anyone of a different color attacking you.
It could be considered a 'hate crime' here in the U.S.
Laughing my head off at how Stevie Wonder is 'boycotting' Florida. Jeez, like it's Apartied or something..
Get a grip, folks..
Where's the outrage from the LGBT and Hispanic communities..?
Jeantel called Zimmerman a 'gay predator'. If a conservative host said that, national outrage would ensue, yelling 'hate crime' and they'd be booted off television.
The silence is deafening. I enjoy how these groups twist and turn their reasoning to fit the situation. Obviously both sides are guilty to some extent, but it's just comical.
I’m not even going to get into the race aspect of it. Here are facts;
1. Guy with gun gets out of his car (by choice, not because he felt threatened) to accost someone, that he doesn’t like the looks of. 2. Guy with gun gets a beating and uses gun to kill unarmed guy.
That’s not right. To take someone else’s life and then get off scot-free. I don’t think it was premeditated murder. Perhaps negligent manslaughter.
I don’t care what race either of them are. One guy killed another, for no reason and then he got no punishment. That’s wrong and that’s what’s burning me up about it.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Just call us the Dirty Dozen.
You have more than 12 readers, Cal. It's just that we're the 12 who take the initiative to comment. The rest are content just to be lurkers.
Yeah...initiative!
And cleanliness too. We are the cleanest Dirty Dozen with initiative. With a pinch of persistence.
And a whole snootful of opinions which I appreciate.

Ah, 'all the world's a stage'.

No punishment for a death that was hinky from the get go. Switch the races, different result. That is the reason for the outrage. End of story.
