In reply to the discussion: Trayvon Martin's DNA not found on George Zimmerman's gun, forensic tests say [View all]RitchieRich

Ok, that was fun.
Seriously though, I was implying a question that I would appreciate some real thought or response to.
If it is presupposed that any variation from a rigid list of opinions constitutes grounds for being demonized, how is any meaningful dialogue supposed to occur? Or, is that not the goal? If the goal is to just congratulate yourself on agreeing with yourself, well, you could just squat over a mirror and have at it.
I'm also wondering what the lack of DNA means. Does that imply that he was further away than claimed (therefore, not self-defense)?
