Peggy!...I am thrilled that you hipped us to Whitlock's article, and one of his jobs is to sell newspapers with his provocative articles, and I agree that he can write whatever he wants,and I don't know if he's a jerk or not, I don't really care, but I can also voice my objection to things in his articles that I find fault with just as you can.....I am extremeny comfortable with all of my points of view, they are the only things in this world I truly own and control!.....I agree that some of the things I say ARE shocking...but that's not why I say them!...I say them because that's what I believe.....you should see some of the things that I write to the list and then decide NOT to send...as for Mr, Vick?...never have I said he was a good guy!...I don't think he is.....do I want him back in football...absolutley...he paid his price, its time to move on....there are folks in football RIGHT NOW who have killed others while driving dunk....what Vick did to me is nothing compared to that......Ed Hill --- On Thu, 7/16/09, Peggy M <pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Peggy M <pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: J Whitlock, M Vick, Peggy M ,Steve M To: edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, "freelist" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thursday, July 16, 2009, 12:31 PM It might be a surprise to you to find that you aren't the only one who writes things down just to shock people. Whitlock may or may not be a jerk...but that's pretty much up to anyone who reads him, I think. He's a big shot writer for the KansasCity Star... and he probably has as many people who hate him as who believe him. Sharing some of his opinions is supposed to make people think.......not just jump around and try to retaliate. What does that have to do with anything, anyway? I guess you still think Michael Vick wasn't a bad guy...oh, no.
