another Mike Vick thread

[Karen]

I would talk with Michael Vick. I am capable of holding my temper in check for the sake of a greater good. I would ask him what he thinks can be done to change the "culture" of dog fighting. If he used the claim that "it's just part of our culture," I'd remind him that slavery used to be part of the culture here, too - and we changed that! That child labor used to be part of culture - and we changed that. Just because something is 'part of our culture' does not mean it is good and should be protected. I would also ask him how he initially got into it, and if he has since done any work in the neighborhood he grew up in, in the city he started in, to change and eradicate dog fighting, and if not, I would ask why.

Any opportunity to combat evil is worth it, in my mind.

HOLY COW! Karen you are awesome! thanks for answering my question. I find that alot of people beat around the bush or let their anger or lack of knowledge [ignorance] shine thru when confronted with certain issues. education is the key. but some refuse to get involved and choose to be negative. they wont ever make a difference so I have no use for them. if your not part of the solution then you are part of the problem
