Those of you who call Stevie Wonder a moron consider this, he's rich enough to buy and sell most of you.

Well if you don't want to visit SYG states there are only 17 out of 50 you can visit.

FWIW

"The fact is Florida’s stand-your-ground law is quite common, 33 states are effectively SYG states and have very similar provisions. In fact there is one state that not only lets you to stand your ground, it explicitly allows you to pursue your assailant if necessary for your safety. And that state is California [where the station is located]."

I'm sure your lack of vacationing in Florida will force the legislature to act.
You talk as if their budget depends on your vacation money.

True, easy advertising for a celebrity on tour.

So can Snooki and the Situation. Just sayin'.

I've always liked the guy, it just seems "odd".....and I reiterate that it might just be his manager drumming up free publicity for his tour.
