Agree on your points regarding Vick, Thoul.
What I really meant about it being sad was that it is sad that such a respected and looked up to football "hero" has fallen like this that he now finds himself in jail and may have lost his status in the football world and the world in general because of a disasterous mistake he made. Just another reason that we should really choose our "heroes" wisely, I suppose.
Oh well, onward and upward, I guess lol, to the current news of the day - which is the big MidEast Peace Summit taking place in the US today with lots of the leaders of the middle east countries here. Maybe Bush & Tony Blair (who is there because of his new job as Mid-East envoy, I think) can help to bring these people together in a peaceful way instead of all the fighting and turmoil usually in their countries. What do you think - will there ever be peace in the mid-east, or anywhere else in the world for that matter?
