A rant about time (or lack thereof)
26 July 2007
Surprisingly, my big question isn't how these people find time to protest, it's why they're out protesting. I can't imagine the demographic that they are trying to reach. Everyone knows that animal cruelty is wrong. Even those people (notice how I danced around saying "Vick"? Innocent until guilty, right?) who organize the dog fights know that what they are doing is wrong. I just can't imagine the person driving by in his/her car that stops and looks over to think, "Really honey? You can't do that?"
If you're going to protest, protest for a just and reasonable cause. It reminds be of the late Mitch Hedberg who said, "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
If anything good came out of this whole ordeal, it might be from the Long Beach Armada minor league baseball team. They are throwing the very first "Michael Vick Animal Awareness Day." If you bring in a Vick shirt or jersey, you get in for free, and of course, you get to bring your dog to the game. I should call up the Braves and tell them to continue this on for their "Bark in the Park" nights that they organize every year.
So after all of that has been said and done, here's to you Ron Mexico.
Here's to you.
