(It's hard to articulate the feelings I have about the Trayvon Martin case. I think it illuminates why we need to analyze the systematic implementation of racist public policy and how even a jury can be left with their hands tied when confronted with it. In order to ensure that every person in the U.S. receives their constitutional right to a fair trial, the laws that are being enforced need to be representative and fair for the populace seeking justice.)
This was all after I gave a driving lesson to a youth. Tonight was the first night that we left the parking lot. I now truly understand the fear that parents have when teaching their children how to drive. Alas, I only had to grab the steering wheel once in order to save us from an accident. Although, it is notably difficult to keep a monotone instructional voice when inches away from grazing the car to your right.
But, progress!
