Some thoughts about Michael Vick

I will be brief about it. Michael Vick broke the law. He paid his debt to society. He has been punished for his crimes. He has done his time. Give him a chance to play football in the NFL. He needs to be on a football field during the season. He needs to compete with the best because he is one of the best. To prohibit this man from doing what he does best is wrong. It is overkill. Alright, so he mistreated some dogs. Where is the forgiveness? Where is the compassion? Did he kill anyone? Did he pull a gun on someone? PETA and other animal protection activist organizations need to get off their high horses of self-righteousness, and channel their energies to a real moral problem: abortion. They don't need to change their acrostic. Just change the words each letter represents: The new PETA: PREVENTING, ENDING THE ABORTIONS. But such an action would mean exiting the arena of self-righteousness and entering the arena of the pursuit of real righteousness; saving human lives. But that would cause them to leave their comfort zone. Maybe some are willing. Certainly the zeal is there. But why not just leave Michael Vick alone? He paid his dues.
