Make sure you read Tommy's article about Michael Vicks as well. What Lipton's letter calls a teen's "fart joke." He's got it all figured out. He reminds us how great we humans are, that dogs are cute but otherwise insignificant...all without pointing out that Vicks broke a very serious law. Not one, several of them. Tommy doesn't seem to understand that by being a pro football player, he's also a role model because of that position. Some role model. Killing dogs, probably with his bare hands. Vicks is a multi-millionaire because of his ability to do things with a ball. His name also makes millions for manufactures and the NFL. And somehow, he should get a pass because he merely killed cute animals. While I completely understand the point Tommy was trying to raise, unfortunately he made a poor choice to illustrate his point. All in the name of "Him" as Tommy puts it. I look forward to the TCN responses for this one. Sometimes, I wonder if the TCN holds on to Tommy just for shock value. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
