Serving on a Jury
Was justice served in the murder acquittal of George Zimmerman? You be the judge.
It would seem that the only ones being served were the sequestered jurors who were treated by taxpayers to pedicures, bowling and most appropriately, admission to Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Museum.
If the seed of the American Dream was planted during the dark days of the Depression, germinated at the New York Worlds Fair of 1939, it was nurtured and cultivated during the sacrifices and deprivations of WWII. By wars end

Though it would be my parents generation, those who lived through the Great Depression and later rolled up their collective sleeves, pitched in and sacrificed for the greater good in their fight against tyranny-who would be knighted by Tom Brokaw

For over half a century, Americans soaring confidence had always promised a sugar-frosted future filled with frost free fun and abundance and economic prosperity. But that Buoyant bubble of optimism has since gone bust. Along with our jobs, retirement funds

American Dream Foreclosed Whether a split level or a McMansion, the American Home has been the very embodiment of the American Dream. Once the mark of achievement, the suburban home was a solid investment, the guarantee of a secure future.

Within the law, yes. I ask, though, is the law just? That’s the question. One kid’s dead; a young man, emboldened with a handgun and an over-whelming sense of righteousness walks free today, but will forever have to look over his back. I am with Trayvon Martin’s mother and father, however: pray for George Zimmerman and work to create a legacy based on the son they lost to a senseless act of “self-defense”. (I don’t get it, either. If someone’s following a kid, intent unknown, doesn’t the kid get to defend himself when confronted? I’m trying not to obsess about the injustice of the verdict, but some events just don’t deserve this sort of benefit of doubt.)
