Keep Your Head Up Young Brother. The Conformists Need Someone To Hate.

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son

Is this supposed to be in support of Vick? If so why?

Does one wrong justify another? Do double standards in media reporting, racism, and all other inequities in the system justify cruelty to animals?

If you are saying innocent until proven guilty, fine.... we can accept that.
