You won't be seeing mine anytime soon. I have no desire to visit a place where it is ok to kill folks just for being black.

No, it wasn't ok to kill him for being black, and he wasn't killed for being black. The FBI declared race had nothing to do with it.

Trayvon was killed because Zimmerman was afraid due to a situation he (Zimmerman) caused.

Trayvon Martin's civil rights were violated. He had every right to be where he was, doing exactly what he was doing.

Oh, the FBI said so? Well, there we have it.

"He looks black."

Okay, well that's just answering a valid question.

"He's coming towards me. And he's a black male."

Why was it necessary to assert Martins race twice?

"These assholes always get away with it."

What "assholes"? And, "get away" with what? Martin hadn't done anything at this point.

I dunno, Dave. It smells a little fishy to me.

lol

There are two types of people. Those that know Trayvon was targeted because he was black and acknowledge it and those that know Trayvon was targeted because he was black and do not acknowledge it.

Some retirement fun?

Personally, I love Disney World, I am not staying away. Also my kid will be playing in Miami and Tallahassee every other year.

Virginia Tech too.

Our trip to Florida was a spur of the moment decision based upon some good travel deals at the time. We were able to fly one-way to Fort Lauderdale for $57 and then pick up a one-way full size rental car for $19 a day (a special deal the rental car companies have concocted to help return the cars north for the Florida off-season). We drove up the coast for 10 days visiting Melbourne, St. Augustine, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and the Outer Banks.

If you go to Blacksburg, drop me a line and I'll give you some tips about food, music, sights, etc.

Nice trip! Don't even tell us about the food.

Sounds like a great deal.

I love the drive from Ormond Beach to St Augustine on 1A.

We play Tech at home this year so maybe next year I'll be in Blacksburg. I have never been there in spite of having had a customer in town.

I love Florida, but I'm a Gulf Coast kinda guy. I have friends that live in Dunedin. Atlantic coast is just too crowded and touristy. I hate amusement parks, so forget Central, there is nothing there for me. Haven't made it south to Miami or the Keys.......yet.
