I’m at a loss…

…for words. The Michael Vick affair that’s in the news now has brought into public view one of the most disgusting things that supposedly civilized people still do. It doesn’t matter if it’s dog fighting, cock fighting or any of the other variations of pitting animal against animal that has been invented in our history. [...]
