To be less roundabout, the problem with Florida Law is that essentially makes racism a legitimate reason to legally kill someone. It's a horrible verdict made even more horrible in that, under Florida Law, the jury's decision wasn't an outrageous interpretation of that Law.

The gun lobby comes into it because it's the kind of law they want to push.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not sure what caused the coconut milk purchase failure. At my grocery store it isn't near the condensed or powdered milk but in the "international" aisle.
Yeah, I was in the international aisle and thought I had the creamy stuff, but no, just the watery stuff. Frozen, it's mostly like water, and the coconut shreds and lime zest I added didn't do enough.

Yeah, totally, 100%. The law is at least as outrageous as the rest of it.

At least my recent vacation affords me an avenue of protest over the recent Zimmerman verdict that will reach the ears of people far more powerful than the Florida legislature. My response to the offer for discounted vacation packages I just received:
Dear Disney Destinations,
I'm sorry, but now that it's been made clear that it's legal for paranoid vigilantes to stalk, harrass, and kill unarmed people in the state of Florida on the flimsiest of pretexts, I don't imagine I'll be enjoying another vacation at Walt Disney World anytime in the foreseeable future. I'll restrict my vacationing to places where I can feel more secure in my safety and the proper implementation of justice, like Mexico or the West Bank. Thanks for your generous offer just the same.
Best regards,
[Matt the Bruins fan]

Popsicle report: coconut water does NOT work.
Thanks for reporting, I would have guessed it would have worked. My sister looooves coconut water (some particular coconut water, to be precise, we had to go find her brand so she could stock up for the drive home last time she visited), so I still might try it at some point, but I'll be braced for disappointment.

It froze fine, but didn't have much flavor.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Boiling it down to concentrate the flavor doesn't seem like a good idea, either, somehow.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
She just said that her children are the wrong race to cause riots or social media campaigns if they get attacked, but that's the America they live in. I give up. This person is not worth arguing with.
