[chickenlittle]

As the song goes "STILL HOPE IN A HOPELESS WORLD"
Or as the great Bob Marley sang " SAY SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING"
Good for this bar owner wish more people were like this now days:

Good for that bar. I can't believe how cruel people have become to animals these days...dogs, cats, geese, rabbits, and yes humans too.

Theta and I believe in Ahimsa

The NFL is filled with slugs. Something like 21% of them have been charged with a crime ranging from rape, domestic abuse, violence etc. This celebrity culture of ours excuses behavior of the rich and the famous. Howard Stern and his friend Sam Simon have been trashing Vick hardcore.

MICHAEL VICK HAS NO SOUL

"Howard started off the show discussing Michael Vick's “60 Minutes” interview, saying Vick didn't seem to be rehabilitated. Robin thought Vick's "puff piece" apologies were insincere, as he smiled the entire time: "I don't ever want to see him again." Artie's take was revealing: "In this life, if you're good at something, you will be tolerated...shitty behavior will be tolerated if you're good." Artie added that anyone who could torture animals was a dangerous person ("He has no soul.") "

Artie brought up the point that other sports players weren't give a second chance just because of gambling and Vick's crimes were much worse. Stern said that the NFL is hypocritical. The only pretend to care about such matters. They made a bigger deal over Janet Jackson. When a player is caught with steroids they don't get a second chance. If Vick had molested a child he wouldn't be given a second chance. One caller told Stern that what Vick did isn't as bad a abusing a child. Stern said that on a scale of one to ten with ten being the worst, molesting a child is a ten. Even if you believe that what Vick did isn't as bad, you still have to rate it at least an eight or a nine. "So that's the standard of the NFL?", Stern said. Only the very worst forms of evil are considered punishable? Another caller pointed out that Stallworth had killed someone while drunk driving and still plays. Stern said that as terrible as that is, at least it wasn't premeditated as was the case with Vick.

Our culture is so enamored with sadism that people like Vick and Quentin Tarantino are put on pedestals as heroes. Think about it....torture of humans and animals, child molestation, Israel Genocide, US genocide in Afghanistan and Iraq, nuking Japan, assassinations of JFK, RFK, Malcolm X, and MLK, UFC fighting, perpetual war, cops tazering grandmothers, city shootings, insane music, sadistic movies, and on and on. We just look at it, and cannot fathom it sometimes. We will pick up injured pigeons and nurse them back to health, while people will run over geese. We treat dogs and cats like little people, while people shoot and burn them. If mice get in the house, we capture and release them. 10 billion animals are cruelly tortured every year for food and sport, while we have pet pigs, goats, and cows visiting Farms. DEVO was right, the planet is devolving very rapidly, even faster than they thought, but we must not plug into any of their circuits, and keep fighting the good fight.
