But especially Ron Davis and Lucy McBath, Trenton Green Sr. and Harriet McNeal, PastorPatti Lynnette Israel-Roebuck. I still walk with Jordan, Brandon and Kalil daily.

That time John went to Court with and watched the OJ Simpson parole hearing at Robert Shapiro’s house. It was supposed to be a pretty casual encounter- one up-and-coming lawyer meets a been-t…

Did you know: The sale of heavy duty fireworks is actually illegal in the State of Florida... unless you are seeking to scare off birds from agricultural or fish sanctuaries. It's one of those weird, unenforced laws Bennett and I discuss here. See 791.07. We wish you a SAFE and HAPPY Independence Day.

Last night, I was asked to "model" for the team which was replacing the Jacksonville Suns. "What?" I thought, "Not the Jacksonville Suns. Is Ken really going to change the name?" I got over it and agreed even before hearing what the new name was. The assistant GM gave me a little pep talk, "okay, are you ready?" I was already sitting. [ 463 more words ]

LAW OF THE STORM: In Florida, it is illegal to drive with hazard lights flashing. Hazards lights are for stopped vehicles only. See 316.2397 for more details.

The one exception where Florida drivers are allowed to use hazards while in motion is when the vehicle is being used in a funeral procession. See 316.1974.

Be safe out there. If someone isn't, call us at (904) 444-4444.

On July 4, 1776, it was declared, "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal." Two days before, those words were different... stronger and simpler.

Instead of "self-evident," Jefferson wrote it was "sacred and undeniable" that all men were created equal. It is believed Franklin changed it to choose a word that is inherently subjective and base rather than the undeniable God blessed right "sacred and undeniable" conveys.

You knew that if you watched the first 20 seconds of my TEDxJacksonville Talk- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrzJyrlSoFE.

Since then, we've been fighting to make equality sacred and undeniable. Even Lincoln said equality was a "proposition." I fight for equality daily. As Leymah Gbowee said, peace is not the absence of war, it is the recognition that we are all equal and are due certain simple human rights.

Don't just eat watermelon, drink beer or set off fireworks. Agree to make her better than ever before and honor the sacred and undeniable equality we all share as Americans. Love one another.
