Hi Misty, so do you think it is ok for his hometown to celebrate him? Also thanks 'V' we need to keep sending emails and I haven't heard back from the C of C. yet. |

Do I think he is someone who deserves to be celebrated? No...I would probably actually go in protest if I lived there. :p He's done nothing that deserves being celebrated! I wonder, and I didn't see it anywhere, is it the actual CITY itself, as in the governing bodies, that is throwing the celebration, or is it citizens within the city? If it is actually the city itself throwing it, then that is absolutely ridiculous and no, I don't think it's acceptable. If it's the citizens themselves, then I think that is their right to do so. Although again, I think they are off their rockers and he doesn't deserve being exhaulted. And I think that if it's individuals hosting it, they should have to do it in a private location, not a public one. |

Yes it is the parents responsibility to shape and influence their children. But in this country we have too many children living in homes that do NOT have that type of parent. If we did then there would be no need for police departments and jails! How many young men (and women) do you think are out there right this very minute getting their dogs ready to fight. These children are being raised in that environment and Vick's behaviors just adds credence to it. The thought process is "OK Vick got caught but he only went to jail for a short time and is back earning millions. - So it can't be that wrong!" If we animal lovers and protectors ever hope to win the battle against abuses like dog fighting we HAVE to make sure that the punishment fits the crime and the vicious circle is broken just as in child abuse. I still can't get over the fact that Vick did not do it for the money. He did it for enjoyment! OMG! |

Yes, I realize what the general thought process is when children don't have a parent their taking a proactive role. While I completely support educating people on the enormity of the problem and working to promote stricter punishments, I don't feel like it is my responsibility or right to make those decisions on behalf of other parents, regardless to how much I disagree with their methods.

That being said, I don't think it's right to celebrate it...I think what he did was horrible and doesn't deserved being recognized in a positive manner. Does that make sense? I don't condone or agree with what they are choosing to celebrate, but I think they are within their right to do so. People and organizations convene all the time for reasons I may not agree with, but I understand it's their 'right to assemble.' (Serioulsy, it makes me realize there are some seriously deluded people out there. Why on Earth would you celebrate him!?) |
Misty, I think as a hometown or any town they have the right to try to plan one but would people let that happen is yet to see. No news today on this yet. |
|
No, no news from this end. Did you write any letters to the editor of any of the area newspapers about the celebration? I wrote the Chamber again and let them know that I thought they had influence over situations like that and they should use rather than copping out like they did. |
