Michael Vick. OK, there, I said it.
The national media barrage is interesting isn't it. NOT!! How do you enjoy the sports press falling all over themselves attempting to defend him and then pull a 180 when it comes out that Vick had executed dogs. Then the lunatics come out of the bushes, the national pundits start to excoriate Vick about what he did, as they should. But to compare him to Hitler, to Stalin, to Mao? How about comparing him to serial rapists and and Charles Manson? I love dogs as much as the next guy but for Christ sake, you are talking about dead dogs versus dead people. If you were to put innocent anonymous people up against innocent anonymous dogs, you are saying that you would prefer the dog's life to the person's life?
This world is crazy.

More news stuff. Miss Teenage South Carolina. What was she thinking. OK, maybe she wasn't thinking. Poor kid. Maybe we need to give remedial thinking to beauty contestants.
"I write to find out what I think." Joan Didion. "Qu'est ce que je sais"-What do you know? "a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog know one big thing" Archilochus I studied most of my life for credentials, now I study as a Polymath. This blog is my personal ruminations. I invite you along to explore many things. I won't promise that it will all be interesting, but I promise that the thoughts are honest. I realized, relatively late, that life is for the living. So, it was time to live.
