At a Rolling Boil…

My blood is boiling.  It’s midnight in Colorado and I am completely baffled by and fed up with the white trash on Facebook.

There:  I said it.  And I don’t like saying it. I’m a Civil Rights advocate and unfortunately, I would defend the riff raff’s civil rights at the drop of a hat.

I’m talking, of course, about the people who have turned Casey Anthony into a monster in order to have someone to hate and vilify.  The Casey Anthony they continue to threaten and slander doesn’t even exist; she is a figment of perverted imagination.

I am so very grateful that despite my many personal flaws, I don’t feel the need to scream “baby killer!” at anyone, and that I believe that the jury made the right call.

People with finely honed intellects understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty and while they may disagree with the verdict, manage to do so with civility.

I wonder if we do live in a civil society– when the chips are down, many people go for the  jugular.

Jose Baez put out a lot of fascinating info on the case and on CA tonight.  Check it out.  xj
