Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the People's Convention, sponsored by the Center for Popular Democracy. I was grateful for the experience. As for the convention, I find that all conventions and conferences tax my social reserves, particularly after the first day. However, the workshops were good, there were a couple of excellent speakers, and the march was effective. What didn't like was that there was too much chanting during the plenary sessions. In fact, there was so much of it that it reminded me of pep rallies, which I didn't like when I was in school and, apparently, I don't like now. While some chants were timely and meaningful, such as "Black lives, they matter here," others are stale after 50 years of use. So I will end with a revised chant:
Hey hey
Ho ho
This damn chant has got to go!

I perform weddings and will provide any type of wedding you want. So far the weddings I have performed have been for people who are uncomfortable with references to God. I am okay with that or okay with a God reference.

One of my clients recently informed me that my website, johncjordan.com, was blank. Unfortunately that is true, all my information has disappeared. I hope to solve this in a couple of weeks and since self-promotion is not one of my strong suits I will be asking for your opinions on marketing myself on the site.

Reflections on the Zimmerman Verdict and 'Stand Your Ground'

Since the Zimmerman trial and verdict bring up issues of crime and punishment, racial bias, and self-defense, I found this article to be very interesting. http://news.yahoo.com/racial-bias-stand-ground-laws-data-show-125232533.html

Someone sent me this interesting and nuanced article about the Zimmerman trial, specifically and Stand Your Ground Laws, generally. I hope you find it interesting.

During the closing arguments of the George Zimmerman trial, defense attorney Mark O'Mara asked the courtroom to be quiet for four long minutes. When he at last broke the silence, he said those four minutes were the amount of time that Trayvon Martin had had to go home.
