I cannot believe the Zimmerman verdict. Except that I can.

[The Straight Story]

10. I can believe it. We murder as a nation, no questions asked.

You can have a thousand threads when one person kills another in Florida, and less than a handful when we kill people a world away from on high (because those folks don't seem to matter I guess).

We can't have investigations, we can't ask questions (national security), and those on high can cover up their crimes by having others take the blame.

And we expect justice? We are being desensitized each attack. Killing others is not so bad as long as they are not like us and we have what we 'feel' to be a good reason.

We turn on each other, pitted against one another in cases like this, while the big cases get swept away.

We fund thugs who murder, we use drones in countries not at war with, we sell arms to most anyone knowing what they will be used for - and this case is the one that outrages us the most, the one the media covers the most?

Led around by the news orgs who are telling us which cases are the ones we should follow and be outraged by. If they ignore it, we do. The public laps up what we are fed while many other things flow right by us.

No wonder nancy grace and others have the shows they do. It is what people want.
