Was Trayvon His First, Or...

[Demo_Chris]

15. I have known a lot of guys just like you describe, with one exception...

They didn't go out of their way to look for trouble, and they never would have even dreamed of fabricating one.

I suspect that this is coded into the DNA of most men, at least to a certain extent. Little boys want to grow up to be Firemen, Policemen, Soldiers, Secret Agents, Sports Heroes, Cowboy. And they at least occassionally daydream what that would be like. This fantasy personna is respected, brave, powerful, dangerous, wealthy, and totally freaking cool. If there's a cool kid's club he isn't in it, he soars above it. And since damn near every adventure story includes a character just like this, I think it's safe to say the fantasy is all but universal -- or at least common. And this is perhaps a good thing.

But there's a difference between James Bond daydreams (wealthy, cool, deadly, women orgasm when he smiles, plus a LICENSE to kill) and deciding or even sectretly desiring to murder someone. All the difference in the world.
