BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Michael Vick's Dogs Find Homes

If there is a God.....?
And God made man in his image.....?
Then God must look an awful lot like.........?


MICHAEL VICK!

“The existence of a world without God seems to me less absurd than the presence of a God, existing in all his perfection, creating an imperfect man in order to make him run the risk of Hell.”


Couldn't help but see a parallel between Michael Vick's rehabilitation, public display of remorse, and the rehabilitation of his pitbulls used for fighting.  As a veterinarian, well aware how friendly and  playfull pitbulls are in general;   how quickly without warning,  destruction capable of as their demeanor  make a 360 degree turn.  Like a switch had been turned on/off before able to comprehend what was happening, rendering helpless to minimize the destruction.

Only time proves one right or wrong; never a fact till too late.
