Michael Vick’s Pending Release

In the coming weeks, the debate over Michael Vick’s pending release will once again dominate the news circle. There are those who will still want to punish him further, even though he would have served his time. The Vick phenomenon is a display on how much our values has changed, specifically, equating the rights afforded to humans to animals. I am not here to condone what Vick did to the dogs in his charge, but the outrage by some of us was overboard and unwarranted. Where is the outrage over the ongoing slaughter of the innocents under the guise of Abortion Rights. How many of us would and have criticized those pro-life supporters who display pictures of actual, gruesome aborted fetuses. In contrast, we extol the virtues of those who have abortions, not because of rape, incest, or a threat to the mother, but for the simple, venerated sake of God choosing the female species to replenish the human race. No doubt that \there are going to be protests and influence brought on football teams not to employ Vick in the vocation he loves, while some of us will engage in our Constitutional right of moral indolence by walking pass our shame on our way to wax poetic about the spotted owl or to boast about how green we are in our support of the much maligned environment.

I used to be cavalier on the abortion issue until I saw my daughter in my wife’s womb; I then pondered how deluded one must have to be to have looked at an ultra sound and go home and chalk it up to just globs of tissue, which happens to have the DNA of his or her parents. Let me digress a little, but I must convey a story I heard about a couple residing in Hawaii who had many a problems-the least of which was the interracial nature of their relationship. In the middle of the chaotic relationship, a child was sired-no one knows if sometime during the pregnancy, the mother contemplated an abortion; however, the child that was born in the midst of all that chaos made Epochal history by becoming the first African American President of these United States--again, forgive me for digressing, but in the coming weeks for some of us Michael Vick will take his place among the notoriously wicked of our age--Hitler, Stalin, bin Laden….
