THIS is what we want the United States to be known for? Whether or not I approve of "Stand Your Ground" laws, THIS incident is NOT what those laws are intended to "protect". (At least, I hope to GOD, it's not.) What kind of a person sets up a trap expressly for the purpose of shooting another human being? SERIOUSLY? That is not the kind of behavior I want my country's laws to protect!
(hopefully this comes up as a link, but i'm not holding my breath the way it's being treated in this email... so, you may have to copy and paste the link. Sorry.) (But it's worth it!)
On a completely different tack: Here is a great quote, and a great argument for walking (WITHOUT texting!)
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." Henry David Thoreau
How many people would think more if they walked just for walking's sake more? (ok, also inspired by a BBC story...)
