Thanks for all the dialogue....I want to make it clear that on this whole issue I am dead in the middle.....I can't lean one way or another due to the fact that I personally was not at the scene when this event occurred And therefor cannot possibly make a stance one way or the other.....that may seem problematic to some or cowardly to others but I usually only make decisions based on the information I'm given, be it from colleagues and the media, and discussion boards.....tht being said, I try to keep as well informed about the current issues, I try to keep as open a mind as I can, I try to make sure I listen to both sides of the issues, and I often to try imagine myself in the others shoes....
I live in Cincinnati (yeah the same city that Mark Twain wrote he wanted to live at the end of te world becuase it's twenty years behind the times......) and back in 2001 we ourselves had a very bad situation where a black teenager was killed by a police officer, the teen was unarmed, but th officer thought he was reaching for a gun.....this whole event triggered a series of local riots that shut the city down for several days...I was out of work for a week.....and we lost a ton of convention work becuase of boycotts....
I just hope that in the whole Zimmerman/Martin event that cooler heads will prevail and an honest true and open discussion can occur within this country over deep rooted issues that honestly have always been swept under the rug whenever a distraction came along.
Again, thanks an just my $.02
