Things to come

Consider this a note to myself...WRITE ABOUT THIS WEEK. Nevermind that orientation at Wake Forest has become something of a police sting operation, but people are still supporting Michael Vick! Interesting that these folks were first telling us to look at all the facts and let Vick be innocent until proven guilty. Whoops, guilty plea. Suddenly we are singing "We Shall Overcome" and saying that Vick has found God. Sorry folks, he betrayed you, your trust, your city, and your kids. Forgiveness is fine, but lets wait for him to truly atone before we decide he could one day be a saint. Equally as bad are the assholes at PETA. You can show up at a protest with a sign with a dog fighting victim (a dog) on it, but you seemingly forget about much more important issues. Talk about a bandwagon group....Hmmm, I am bored, need to feel better about myself, cant really affect major global issues, dont want to back human interest/ murder trials, might as well supoort animals, at least they dont ask for money. Animal Rights acitvists are the lowest form of activists. Remember when activism was meant to help humans (environmental, human rights, fundraising etc...). Now people want to hunt down Colnol Sanders, not murderers, dictators, and generally bad music artists. Other questions to ask....why is the USA basketball team winning (I doubt Coach K), was Beckham overplayed, will the Yankees make the playoffs. Less relevent than the Vick case...No, such is sports. Less relative than the worries of the rest of the world issues...Yes...such is priority. SO while i fall into the category of animal rights activists, calling for parity, meaningfulness etc... within sports may be equally shallow as animal rights followers. However, always the hypocrite, I am sure that these subjects are imprtant to me, and I will continue to write about them.
