“That’s eeg-no-runt sir.” And just think. She’ll be casting multiple ballots before long.

Probably has already. You can register in Florida at 16.

So what you’re sayin’ is that tres gone is gonna be votin’?

[nascarnation]

Could be...once you’re registered, I doubt anybody at the polling place verifies age. Especially in the ‘hood.

"Don’t play cop if you aren’t one. And don’t go acting like macho man when you don’t have any idea who you going to beat down. If either Martin or Zimmerman had simply called law enforcement instead of playing Dick Tracy or Tough guy . . ."

Mr. Zimmerman was a member of his community's Neighborhood Watch program, a program started because of the neighbors and his concerns about recent break-ins and safety. He was not "playing cop" or Dick Tracy. He did, in fact, call law enforcement, and was trying to give the best information he could regarding the whereabouts of a suspicious-acting character he found loitering outside a neighbor's house in the rain on a chilly evening.

I got into the habit of architectural style printing in design school (but smaller), so except for my signature, rarely write properly. My penmanship was never that great to begin with.
It would truly be a shame for proper handwriting to be lost. (the discovery that personal stationery no longer existed caused a protracted fit a few years ago)
We’re (not literally “us- Western civilization) becoming cretins.

At least something good came out of that tragedy. Its not much but I will hope this will give her a start on life.

She wasn’t the last person to speak to Trayvon. Zimmerman was.
