Re: Nice Planet 2011
I think that the protests against Zimmerman specifically are absurd. Protesting that idiotic, dangerous law, please, be my guest. But we don't have the facts. So to assume that Zimmerman is guilty is exactly as ignorant and moronic as to assume that he is not guilty.
On another note, I'm curious as to what people think about the Ozzie Guillen bruhaha. For those who are unfamiliar, the gist is that the manager of the Miami Marlins baseball team, who has a history of putting his foot in his mouth, and whose English is fairly bad despite having lived here for something like 30 years and being a naturalized citizen, was quoted in a magazine (Time?) as saying that he loves and admires Fidel Castro. The team suspended him without pay for 5 games. He issued an apology to Cuban immigrants which I believe may actually have been sincere. (He is not Cuban himself, but Venezuelan, although a US citizen now)
