He is back in the NFL now, and some people are up in arms. I have listened to people interviewed showing their outrage over the signing. Many saying how could the Eagles sign a "murderer"? Let me ask you something: Do you really think everyone in the NFL are model citizens? I bet right now 10% of every roster in the NFL have signed players who have been convicted of, or charged with crimes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Yet Michael Vick is different cause he killed animals? Now don't get me wrong what Vick did is horrible, and he should feel bad about it. But what if he doesn't? Would it really matter? Unless you are living with Vick should any of us really care if he feels remorse over the crime? By law he has already paid his debt to society, and he has every right to make a living at his chosen profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    Also, what constitutes remorse anyway? Him saying he is sorry 50 million times? What does that really accomplish? Sorry is just a word. In fact saying sorry carries about as much weight as holding your hand out to stop a speeding train. A word with no meaning, unless the person saying it takes action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    To me it is more important Vick takes actions to not being involved in dogfighting, or any other crime for that matter. If he does that, then, to me, he has every right to live his life and make a living. Saying I am sorry does little. It just eases other peoples feelings, but doesn't solve anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     What about Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie? This is the man who 2 years ago spouted off about how he would "NEVER" hire someone who was involved in dogfighting. Funny how "NEVER" only lasts 2 years when you are trying to win a Super Bowl, huh Mr Lurie? Here is an excerpt taken from PhiladelphiaEagles.com during a press conference held at the signing of Michael Vick. You can get the full transcript of the press conference at &lt;a href="http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=18340"&gt;http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=18340  &lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style="font-style: italic;"&gt;On how they plan to measure his contributions to society, and whether their only measuring stick is on yardage:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "We don't measure him on yardage. My own measurement of Michael Vick will be 100 percent, 'is he able to create social change in this horrendous arena of animal cruelty?' Whether he is successful with us on the field, sure I hope he is. But his legend and whether we are giving him a second chance will be successful if he can diminish the level of animal cruelty. That's it. If he is not proactive he won't be on the team because that's part of the agreement."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       If he can "diminish the level of animal cruelty"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is Vick going to go around in his Superman costume and stamp out all dogfighting rings? Look! Up there in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's-- well you know the rest.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;       Creating social change in this horrendous arena of animal cruelty? What are you talking about Mr. Lurie? Are you saying you will pay Vick if he throws 30 interceptions but creates a social change in dogfighting? The manure he is shoveling is getting pretty deep, he better reach into his deep pockets and get a backhoe to help him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      This decision was money and football related pure and simple. For Mr. Lurie to go and say that Vick will not be measured in "yardage" is absurd. Why sign someone to a team if you don't think he can improve said team? Especially someone with a conviction on dogfighting like Michael Vick? A crime, 2 years ago, Mr. Lurie thought was "unforgivable". Be real Mr. Lurie, this decision hinges less on what he does in the neighborhoods of Philadelphia, and more on what he does on the field in Philadelphia. If Vick puts on a good front and does and says all the right things about dogfighting will Mr. Lurie know or think Vick is any less sincere about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       When did you become Captain Morals anyway, Mr. Lurie? The NFL, as with the world, has its good people and bad people. I am sure you have signed your fair share of players with questionable backgrounds. Yet you go out of your way to make the Vick signing into some sort of soapbox for how moral a man you are. Funny how this press conference turned from a signing of a football player to the "Captain Morals Show". Come on Mr. Lurie, this decision was made because the Eagles see Michael Vick as a way to improve a football team, nothing more nothing less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       My real point is for people to cry and whine about him signing with a sports team is pointless. Vick paid his dues, and will be a face of anti-dogfighting (whether he wants to or not) so what else do you expect from this man? Michael Vick is a human being like everyone else in this world, and he deserves a chance to live his life. Would making Vick dig ditches and banning him from football, for life, really accomplish anything?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Remorse, and feeling terrible about his actions have nothing to do with it. The only thing it does accomplish is to quell feelings of people who will forever view Vick as a "murderer". For the rest of us life moves on, and sports does as well. In 2 years, we will be on to the next football player who was arrested for drunk driving, or shooting himself in the leg, or beating his wife/girlfriend, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Let's stop with this morals and remorse garbage, Mr. Lurie and fans of those few whining Eagles fans. Football is not life and death nor is it a measure of how great, a person, someone is or isn't. Maybe Michael Vick is a terrible person, but even so he deserves the rights, we all enjoy, to make his living. It is that simple. Follow the words of your invisible man in the sky, Mr. Lurie and those few whining Eagles fans: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Words to live by, no?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5532474975121152-2331176898503636942?l=noelmalenosky.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://noelmalenosky.blogspot.com/feeds/2331176898503636942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://noelmalenosky.blogspot.com/2009/08/michael-vick-saga-becomes-to-much-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5532474975121152/posts/default/2331176898503636942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5532474975121152/posts/default/2331176898503636942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://noelmalenosky.blogspot.com/2009/08/michael-vick-saga-becomes-to-much-for.html' title='Michael Vick saga becomes to much for me.'/><author><name>Noel Malenosky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11649287222230597206</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532474975121152.post-7405831148221089492</id><published>2009-08-13T08:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-13T08:36:31.890-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Good Morning All!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cVULQtAGtks/SoQyip3yyxI/AAAAAAAAAAc/YA6rB4050nY/s1600-h/triplesunrise_diacon_big.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cVULQtAGtks/SoQyip3yyxI/AAAAAAAAAAc/YA6rB4050nY/s320/triplesunrise_diacon_big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369472226669284114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a bright and shiny morning.

of fossils&lt;br /&gt;The prisoner blinded with fury for his plight&lt;br /&gt;Cannot even see his fingers to begin the fight&lt;br /&gt;Gray inner walls made of stone and layer&lt;br /&gt;Speaking softly to no one but its moody sayer&lt;br /&gt;The grating rough stone a picture of age&lt;br /&gt;The darkness within causing a burning rage&lt;br /&gt;Slowly the man beats his hands upon the wall&lt;br /&gt;Trying in vain to make them tumble and fall&lt;br /&gt;Blood trickling down from his beefy right hand&lt;br /&gt;His futile screams trying to relay his command&lt;br /&gt;Quiet again the smell again grates&lt;br /&gt;Telling the naked figure of his desperate straights&lt;br /&gt;Stammering he finds a seat on the cold cement floor&lt;br /&gt;No light no sound just he and the door&lt;br /&gt;Off in the corner lies a slit for a view&lt;br /&gt;A window so slight its sight is taboo&lt;br /&gt;It shines brilliantly on a bucket of tin&lt;br /&gt;Filled half way with the waste from within&lt;br /&gt;Its smell permeates all around&lt;br /&gt;Smells so foul it could level the town&lt;br /&gt;But then a flickering light happens in the slit&lt;br /&gt;Nothing less for the man to go see it&lt;br /&gt;He finds a lark so brilliant and bold&lt;br /&gt;Making light of its wait so beaming and gold&lt;br /&gt;Reaching, the man begins to clasp&lt;br /&gt;A small life held firmly in his grasp&lt;br /&gt;Softly he whistles to mimic the creature&lt;br /&gt;Calming its nerves like a mindful teacher&lt;br /&gt;What can you teach me? says the man flush&lt;br /&gt;A sweet melody comes out in a rush&lt;br /&gt;No song so sweet can these stone walls bear&lt;br /&gt;As the man listens close falling safely on air&lt;br /&gt;Dreaming of a field so green and lush and strong&lt;br /&gt;Where everything meant nothing and nothing was wrong&lt;br /&gt;The sweet flowers draw his senses awake&lt;br /&gt;Gleaming and beaming like a still blue lake&lt;br /&gt;His mind is away from the terrible ordeal&lt;br /&gt;Hearing the song of the lark he begins to feel&lt;br /&gt;That all will be golden and everything right&lt;br /&gt;Senses so full feeling the golden light&lt;br /&gt;But as soon as it happens it is gone once more&lt;br /&gt;Tears plunge from deep within the man's core&lt;br /&gt;Escaping from his hand the lark flies free&lt;br /&gt;Waving a somber goodbye with its thumping melody&lt;br /&gt;Back to darkness is the man's eye&lt;br /&gt;Squinting to see the remains of the night go by&lt;br /&gt;Cold is the floor so dusty and weak&lt;br /&gt;Trying is the situation so terrible and bleak&lt;br /&gt;Nothing can be done about the pale moonlight&lt;br /&gt;Shining brightly on the slit being the man's only sight&lt;br /&gt;Teaming with the light of the full moon&lt;br /&gt;The larks freedom song in his mind so soon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noel Malenosky&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

If anyone out there can give me some pointers on child birth it would be very helpful.
