Today at the dentist's office I heard a guy talking about Trayvon Martin.

Apparently, Trayvon was going around, trying to show he was tough because "they do that."  Then he added "not just black kids."  and then "white kids too, it's not about race."  Then he started going on about how young men think they're immortal (repeating "white men too") and that's why they're the ones we send to war.



I don't think I had to literally bite my tongue, but I was pretty numb by then, so who knows.

Uh, yes, teenagers do tend to act like they're immortal. So that means it's okay to shoot them?!? WHAT.
