    As much as I dislike guns and are society of guns. I find Zimmerman statements and reenactment believable.

    Hi David,

    I wanted to comment on your e-mail from Sabina. Let me tell you a story. I have a Facebook page that a lot of people like to visit because I like to post a lot of silliness and, I guess, they like that.

    In one particular post I quoted Hal Sparks who said: “We live in a country where fat is considered genetic, and gay is a choice.”

    Needless to say, within a couple of hours, I received a rather large message on why this was so offensive. In her defense, she did send it in a message rather than post it publicly, but still it was pretty much everything Sabina said in her e-mail.

    So here’s my thought… we’re supposed to be progressives. Progressive thinkers don’t find themselves constantly offended… intelligent people know what a joke is and how to respond. Progressive thinkers should have enough intellectual fortitude to be able to handle all kinds of comments, even those that they find offensive… and especially those that actually are offensive.

    So there are my thoughts. I love your show.

    Ben
