While in the Florida legislature, I strongly opposed the Stand Your Ground law because I believed it would provide defenses to people who had created the scenarios they sought protection from. Or it would leave juries without the proper rules of engagement that ought govern predictable human interactions.

I love stand up and it keeps me grounded, to say the stuff I have been thinking without anyone changing it.

I use the rules to frustrate the law. But I didn't set up the ground rules.

There's so many ways to do stand up, and I think for awhile, people weren't really maximizing the freedom of it.

You have to stand up for some things in this world.

There are too many people around keeping me grounded to go off the rails. I'm my own person.

Aren't we supposed to be standing for something instead of falling for everything?

We're losing our way as a society. If we don't stand up, if we don't say what we think those rights should be, and if we don't protect them, we will very soon find out that we do not have them.

There was no Groundlings or Upright Citizens Brigade where I was from. Looking back on it, I was trying to do sketch comedy in my stand-up, which is still kind of what I am doing now. To go full-circle here, it's kind of like one-man sketch.
