Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Florida's insane kill young black men with impunity law
Stand your ground is leading to outright murder without repercussion. Well, murder of young black men only. If Travon Martin didn't prove it we have yet another case, where blatant racist Michael Dunn was convicted of 3 counts of attempted murder for the 3 he shot at and didn't kill, but the jury was hung on the one he shot at and did kill. WTF? It's that damn stand your ground law, which confuses everyone because it basically says you can kill someone if you feel threatened, even if there isn't actually a threat involved. Like in this case. But again, it only applies if you are white and you kill a young black man, because the latter by nature are scary. Again, WTF? Stewart skewers this bullshit law that has to go.
