Saturday, March 31st. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day

Today's column is dedicated to sarge43, who suggested both the theme and the quote.

It is also dedicated to the memory of Trayvon Martin...

If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

The Merchant Of Venice Act III, Scene 1, Lines 64-67.

But I have to admit, I don't want revenge for Trayvon Martin, simply justice.

I hope that happens. But it seems the more Zimmerman's story falls apart, the more his right-wing supporters dig in to exonerate him, and demonize the victim...
