It's just a matter of time before he's arrested on another charge. Or kills someone. Or both.

Short version: "I lied."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Or I'm saying I lied to get my husband off the hook, which is what battered wives do.
It's impossible for us to know what exactly is going on.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Whatever the case in this instance, let's hope Zimmerman points his gun at the wrong person one day, preferably a suspicious cop.
