That story begins before that. Begins when I answers an ad for UPS at the small, private, liberal arts college I was attending. I've had a lifetime of opportunities that many never have.

I know this is way off topic, but when discussing lives made up of extra opportunity and privilege I find that anyone who was born in this country can make that claim. When the poor in this country are more likely to be obese than anyone else you know we all have it pretty good.

[h=1]Mistaken identity brings threats to Pastor Zimmermann[/h]Death threats were the last type of phone calls George A. Zimmermann, 78, thought he'd get after serving for 55 years as his Pennsylvania community's preacher.
On June 25, Zimmermann was awakened by two calls in the middle of the night from protesters, although he says they were tame in comparison with the one he received July 14, a day after the verdict was reached.
"Hey (expletive), you're the one who killed Trayvon Martin, when your (expletive) get out, you're dead," the caller said in a message left on the answering machine. "Wherever you go, you're dead. Wherever you're trying to hide, you're dead. Watch your (expletive) move. You think you're free. You're not. You better get ready to dig a 6-foot hole, cause you know you're fixing to go," according to a report by Daytona news station WFVT.
Zimmermann, who was not home at the time of the call, recorded the message on his answering machine. He reported the incident to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Zimmermann says a couple of the calls he's received have been from out-of-state numbers, but more have been from Florida. He has changed his phone number, and since July 14, he has not received any more intimidating calls.

Since Trayvon was killed, a number of individuals with unintentional ties to Zimmerman have been accosted in similar cases of mistaken identity:
• A Florida man who had never owned a cellphone before being released from prison in May 2012 was randomly assigned the number Zimmerman was using when he called 911 the night he killed Trayvon. Junior Alexander Guy, then 49, received multiple intimidating phone calls before changing his number.
• Lori Tankel of Winter Park, Fla., was forced to change her number after receiving nearly 100 calls from protesters assuming she was Zimmerman, reports Florida news station WFTV. Her cellphone number was one digit removed from Zimmerman's old number.
• Although he lived thousands of miles away from Sanford, Jorge Zimmerman of Cumberland, R.I., received nearly half a dozen or so angry messages sent to his Facebook page from individuals accusing him of murdering Trayvon, says Rhode Island news station WPRI. He has deactivated his Facebook account.

Do you know why they are likely to be more obese? It's because high-fat, high-sugar, low-quality food is cheap, and that's what poor people can afford to eat. Visit a Safeway or Kroger in an affluent suburb and then explore one in a low-income area. Very different foods are stocked, in order to take advantage of targeted marketing of the poor. You need to read more and open your eyes.

1. Babies born to single moms
2.High dropout rate - no education
3.Dependency on Government- the new Plantation

I shop at a high end store.......got Tina's burritos 4 for $1 yesterday.........................it's choices, not stores....................ask Mooch. I could've bought healthy produce but I didn't. Even the 99 Cent store sells lots of produce, but sometimes people choose Spaghettios.
Corn on the cob, while it's in season, is as cheap as junk food.......same with all fruits and veggies in season.

More,
Many people just do not get it and keep making excuses for other people.
Choices. We are free to make choices ---some continue to make bad choices and there are consequences --many including people like President Obama and Doctor Benjamin Carson have made many good choices and are leading productive and successful lives !!:wink2:

Bill Whittle tickles me pink about a lot of things. And hes done it again with this video. This does certainly sum it all up. I learned a few things I didnt while following the case. Enjoy the video! Warning, graphic images. Also, 10 mintues, but a must watch.

More Lesser Known Facts About The Martin-Zimmerman Case - Video

Edit: please share this, if you can.
I don't usually watch any videos on here that are over 2 mins. long. This one looked interesting to me and it is very good.
I was not aware of "lean" and the formula for making it.
Thanks for posting it and I sent it to my e-mail list also.

Yea, I'm the same way with videos over 3-4 mins as well. Its the first thing I look at when a video starts rolling. If I deem it too long, I cut it off.

This video sparks a topic of interest, so its easy to watch. Just like reading a book of interest. Hell, I just watched it again before refreshing this page, I'm eating this video up. I shared it on my facebook page as well.

Lean sounds like a hell've a drug. And the description of the side effects, uncanny. And Matrins damaged liver, was the true smoking gun.

Yeah we have a driver sup that raves about the produce section at aldi. I can't get my wife to shop there because its aldi. Not to mention take all the time money recourses and space that they use to grow weed and grow fresh produce instead.
