Two charities were set up for the de-mothered babies and the mountain lion cub outearned the human babies two to one.<BR/><BR/>Even Pacman Jones is a bigger asshole than Vick, maybe.

A single fatality, or even a benign off-airport landing, will be plastered on the front page of the paper, while a four-car pile-up that killed 6 will be back on the Metro page somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Serial rape? Not nearly as uncommon (unfortunately) as dog fighting, and thus not as exciting to report.<BR/><BR/>That doesn't invalidate your point, of course. The difference in public approbation between the two examples is, in fact, quite stark. And possibly quite telling.DaveGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015349658680998609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977858.post-76356550751785126092007-08-07T16:18:00.000-04:002007-08-07T16:18:00.000-04:00Rafique,Evolution Theory claims that humans evolve...Rafique,<BR/><BR/>Evolution Theory claims that humans evolved from an animal, a monkey. So, people that are pro-animal rights, in their mind, believe that humans and animals are one and the same. Unfortunately, a soulless animal trumps a human.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
