I am conflicted on this. On the one hand, I can't stand Michael Vick and I don't like his damn team either. On the other hand, I can't stand dogs. They got a real bad attitude toward chimps. I been assaulted by various stupid dogs in my time...and I had to kill a few of 'em too, cos they wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

Still, it sounds to me like this dog that Michael Vick tortured to death was just a poor victim of a sick human being who oughta be hung out to dry. Dogs got rights too, uh?

Then there is the question of forgiveness. Jesus said to forgive everyone. There might be somethin' to that. I would be willin' to give it consideration. But did King Kong forgive the corrupt bozos who kidnapped him and shot him off the Empire State Building? I don't think so! My guess is he would've been happy to stomp 'em all into the pavement if he got the chance.

So do we forgive Michael Vick after he has "paid his dues"? Hmmmm. What would be better? To go on punishin' the man forever or to let the matter pass and let him get on with playin' football? Hmmmmm.

It's a tough one. I gotta have another drink and think about it some.

And then there's the matter of Raptor's balls...sheesh! Gimme a break. You ever notice how hard it is to not think about somethin' when somebody else mentions it?

Like try this: Don't think about an elephant right now! Don't do it. Not on any condition. You will be sorry if you think about an elephant.

See? Enough to drive ya crazy, ain't it?
