Just curious. How does a fox look “annoyed”?</p>
<p>He shakes his head, paws the ground and grumbles in foxspeak, “Not again…”</p>
<p>
No. I think it is something like pitting Michael Moore (with a gun) against a ghost. When we go to a supermarket and buy meat nicely packaged in plastic wrap, that is like pitting Carl Lewis against a child for a 50-yard dash. The animals represented by the poor excuse for meat we see in many stores had no chance at survival at all, whereas deer in the forest not only have a chance, they almost always win.</p>
<p>SmileDarling - that is exactly what he did - but he said, "this is not what I needed to be doing today. Hey woman over there staring at me - take a picture next time. "</p>
<p>Drosselmeier–You are exactly right. Which is why my family went vegetarian years ago.</p>
<p>“Which is why my family went vegetarian years ago”</p>
<p>I’m trying “Solar” myself. 
</p>
<p>Plants are alive too.</p>
<p>Oh, Opie–you make a great point. Did you ever read “The Secret Life of Plants?” It’s enough to make one give up on food altogether!</p>
<p>I personnally think you are doing a cow a favor if you kill it. A plant on the other hand deserves to live.</p>
<p>I don’t really care about dog fighting or c*** fighting. But I wonder boxing is legal.</p>
<p>You’d think this fool couldn’t screw things up for himself any further. Think again. First, he has defaulted on a <em>small</em> ($2,313,994.13 to be exact) loan from RBC Centura bank for a real estate venture. Well, not his fault that he failed to turn in a semi-annual financial statement and disclosure of his liquid assets (and that he had an “adverse incident” change his potential for income production to pay off the loan). Can’t blame the bank for calling in the note. After all, Vick’s been a little preoccupied. And maybe he no longer officially owns the property and the doggies in VA. Who knows. But really, Michael… if you know you are on a pretrial release bond, don’t you think it would be pretty STUPID to fail a drug screen?? So now, thanks to a little THC in his urine, he is on house arrest from 10 pm-6 am, wearing a lovely ankle bracelet. Oh, just to add to his good fortune, the state of VA has slapped him with state dogfighting charges (the grand jury indicted him on 2 dogfighting charges but declined to indict on 8 additional charges). So, he faces maximum additional 10 yrs in jail if convicted of these felonies. Do they have a Fed. Pen. football league?</p>
<p>Maybe he can get burt renolds and adam sandler togehter for another prison football movie? </p>
<p>Just kinda rains and pours on this guy. I would almost feel sorry for him IF any of these situations were out of his control…but no. More or less, just a russian roulete of a lifestyle.</p>
<p>I just keep shaking my head and saying “What a moron.”</p>
<p>Michael Vick put his Atlanta house on the market. Anyone want a seven bedroom, 8.5 bath house with and an estimated monthly mortgage payment of $23,206? (His yearly tax bill is $26,720, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.)
Court records show Vick purchased the home in 2005 for $3.7 million. People, of course, want him to put the proceeds from the house sale to the Humane Society.

<p>You know I’m starting to wonder if he didn’t blow the drug test on purpose… I thought how totally stupid at the time that he would “use” between trial dates. But now, it turns out from laws previously on the books, he can cut his sentence in half. Somebody may have had smart council, not that they would ever admit that, but nice loophole move.</p>
<p>Drug rehab for marijuana can cut his sentence in half? Oh geez.</p>
<p>Playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right.</p>
<p>Opie-
I have to agree with you. Maybe he wasn’t so “stupid” after all. Another calculated plan to work the system. Even more distasteful-- but I blame the attorneys for this one. If the message is “we’ll find ways for you to beat thesystem” Vick, and others like him, will never learn that they are not above the law.</p>
<p>Can someone explain to me how he can charged twice for the same crime?</p>
<p>How is he being charged twice? Do you mean that one is federal and one is state?</p>
<p>Yea, you can’t be tried twice for the same crime. He was convicted already for dogfighting, how can they bring charges against him for something he already plead guilty to. Sounds more like kicking someone while they are down. The local prosecutor just wants to prove himself. The entire thing is superfluous. Vick really is an idiot though, with all that money you would think they he would move to Louisiana to fight his dogs. </p>
<p>The double jeopardy rule arises from the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the relevant clause of which reads</p>
<p>“nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb”.</p>
<p>This clause is intended to limit abuse by the government in repeated prosecution for the same offense as a means of harassment or oppression. It is also in harmony with the common law concept of res judicata which prevents courts from relitigating issues which have already been the subject of a final judgment.</p>
