    There are people of whom/which I have no desire to sit across the table from; I politely excuse myself or better yet politely decline, other obligations, engagements. Thank you though.

    No need for dramatic violence, go up to the WC, they have a great Thanksgiving meal. Works for me anyway.

    @Rodney No, or I would have said that.

    @Susie….Would it be better to say, “Stupid opens up a whole world of anger”?

    Anger opens up a whole world of stupid.

    “I find it odd that ECSO can investigate all homicides except vehicular homicide…why is that?”

    FHP — Florida HIGHWAY Patrol — investigates vehicle crashes.

    I visited NE.Com expecting a light news day. Boy, have I been surprised.

    It’s not as much the rule of law missing as it is the prevalence of recklessness, carelessness, hardheadedness, and lack of responsibility for one’s own actions. People are being seriously hurt, losing their lives, and innocent people are being placed in situations they don’t deserve.

    Something seems really wrong or really missing in Escambia County. Driving, shootings, drugs, killings, robberies. What’s happening here?

    Nothing screams “Happy Thanksgiving, now pass the turkey” like arguing and being shot. Sigh!
