100% agree with this...and a point for using my new favorite word..."pendantic". It was used once before in the gulch....but that's another story. :) :)
Hey there, OA! Long time no see. I agree with you about the generalizations, but found enough merit to warrant a post. And I wanted to see what it might spark. :-)
Focus, Adam, focus: Your argument is with me. so leave the rest of the Gulch out of it! I made one humorous suggestion about slimming down your posts to a digestible level, and you get your dander up....
So be it, then. Here it comes!
I have dutifully read your posts (between drinks, since your posts should come with an open bar) and I find you to be boring or pedantic. Actually, I find you to be a boring pedantic. You must think that the point system in here is awarded by word count?
Not to mention that my eyes are literally bleeding by the end of each post, trying to figure out just what you are trying to say. That could just be me in my infinite stupidity, since no one else has mentioned this. I can live with that. But once again...that's me, and no one else here.
By the way: your above post is the first short, and sweet, post you have done to date! You get a point from me for that.
There is certainly a level of civil rights nostalgia surrounding this case. Trayvon’s murder fell on the heels of two infamous cases coming out of New York. One, where a bride’s groom coming out of nightclub where his batchelor party was being held was sprayed with forty-fifty bullets for reaching for his wallet. Second, Goldsboro a nearby city to the Trayvon incident is originally one of two cities in Florida that historically was incorporated by african-americans, so there is a penchant to be nostalgic geographically.. The release of the movie Dar He right after the shooting probably increased comparsons to the 1955 lynching and shooting death of Emmit Till. That was only compounded by the misinformation coming out in the beginning, witnesses referring to this young man as a “little boy”. Emmitt had been fourteen. Trayvon is no Emmit Till. Even with all the emotions surrounding this case, I suspect the african-american community will handle the decision with dignity. Al Sharpton, and Rev. Jackson, and even the DOJ...well...what can you say. It is what it is. The verdict is in! Gotta go.
Seriously Adam.... I can't follow what you're responding to when your replies shows up at random in the thread. It's time consuming and not conducive to keeping the interest peaked. I'm at my computer most of the day working...I pop in for a few minutes here and there to comment or reply quickly...this is more like trying to put together a 1000 pc puzzle without losing interest before I find the next piece. (And I'm starting to think a good many pieces are missing.)

Adam gets a song too: Carly Simon's "You're So Vain".
' You're so vain, you probably think this site is about you...!'
Enjoy!
