Just caught this one on the CNN home page. “Michael Vick letter: I’m a shy animal lover.” Uh-huh.
What Is This Mess?
You've stumbled upon my mixed bag of ramblings about economics, politics, news, human stupidity, programming, and geeky stuff in general ... all from the perspective of somebody who scored as a 100% libertarian on the Nolan Chart.
I'm a Chattanooga resident, Web developer, Mac user, and amateur photographer who really likes taking pictures at night. I'm a Krystal Lover! I (used to) drink too much Coke, and own a General Electric refrigerator from the late forties. I'm currently servinc as the Chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party, President of ChattaMac (our local Mac Users Group), and I organize a PHP Developer's Group locally.
To find out more about the refrigerator (or to chat about anything you read on here), email me at j.clifton@four-eight-four.org.
That's right, I'm a card-carrying member, baby!
I actually buy his argument. It has been shown that if you don’t teach someone it is wrong then how can a person know it is wrong. There is nothing in man that makes him realize something is wrong. It is through teaching that you learn. If no one taught him what he was doing was wrong then how could he know?
I dunno … I find it hard to believe that he didn’t know he was involved in something illegal, and I find it hard to believe that he’s not have some sort of pang of remorse watching the results. But … in the end, what caught my attention was more the “shy” than the animal lover part. I don’t think I’d ever have described Michael Vick as shy. But … I might be wrong.
