Dead is dead if you're the victim, as you point out. However, I think we agree that he did not get up that morning and say hey I think I will drown one of my volunteers today, right? So however cowardly or criminal his behavior may have been, it was not deliberate, right? It was a huge and shameful fuckup. But it was a fuckup. Meanwhile the dogfighting -- I have stayed out of that so far because I ignore football and had never heard of Vick befor he got busted. I don't like to get gushy about animals, thos since we are on the subject I will mention that I used to foster dogs when I had the yard for it and probably saved several from euthanasia given how dysfunctional the city shelter is here. With that out of the way, I find that dogfighting does require planning and yes cruelty. At best the man did not think it was wrong, and the question then becomes why would he not. It seems to denote a lack of empathy. Don't mind me though. I realize you two are having fun and I am bringing reasonableness to a pissing contest ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
