And the Survey Says....

Good Morning China! I would like to start off this blog with asking you, yes youuu! the reader!, a few simple questions. They are rhetorical, clearly because I can't hear what your answers are, and clearly, I dont really care. (that is a joke.) Okay, how many of you can name atleast 10 countries in Africa? How many of you can easily locate Iraq on the map? What is happening in Israel/Palestine right now? These aren't very difficult questions, but unless you've studied these topics, you wouldn't know the answers. Now on to the purpose of this blog. How many people know what is happening right now with any of these people: Jessica Simpson, Brett Favre, Michael Vick, or Prince William? I am sure you know way more about these celebrities than you do about issues that are actually of importance, but I guess one can say importance is relative to each person. That was just a pointless rant, but I felt it was necessary. Now on to one of those celebrities (yes, I am going to fall into that pattern that I was complaining about, but I need to keep readers entertained! Sell out much?). Michael Vick made headlines today. Was he in a hit and run? Drunk driving? He shot someone! No? Did he retire, come back, retire, then come back again, only to retire again? (Oh wrong quarterback). He wants a dog. Michael Vick, a man who runs the offense of a pro football team wants a dog. His past is the reason why he is making headlines with the same request many of you had while growing up..."Daddy, I want a puppy!" He used to take part in dog fighting. Dog fighting.. Disgusting and inhumane. He spent his time in jail for his crime. Part of his punishment was to never own a dog again. He isn't a drug addict who will be permitted to become a pharmicist. He's a man who made a big mistake and paid for it, let him be. He stated that it would be a good way to show he's a changed man by responsibly owning a dog. Let him have one, hell he's got two kids. There are far more things in this world that are more important to be worried about, such as Israel continuing to piss off Palestine, or people suffering in Darfur (Sudan, Africa) than whether or not Michael Vick wants a dog or not. Next comes the debate over the name of the dog I am sure..
