You American humans have no sense of proportion. People are going batshit crazy over Michael Vick and them dogs.
I've known y'all are strange for a while. I get dirty looks when I say I see no problem with horse steaks when you couldn't tell it from cow if I gave it to you. You sell alcohol, cigarettes, talk about how well your coffee satisfies your caffeine additions, buy 'energy drinks' so you can get wiings!...and ruin people's lives over a fairly innocuous weed that grows everywhere in the world, much less the nation.
People who would defend your right to sell weapons out of the trunk of your car want Vick to do five years for killing a couple of dogs. And it's not like a national call went out...but it's almost like a national call went out. We couldn't stop O.J....we couldn't stop Bonds...but we got this one, dammit!
It's crazy. If y'all don't develop a sane set of ethics, you're going to look back at your self destruction and not understand at all how it happened.

it's enough to make you think that the culture is founded in a subconscious and irrational frame of reference, rather than a rational and thence proportional one....,
