[quote=Anonymous]Michael Vick has paid his debt to society for the crimes he committed. He served time in prison,paid fines, has done community service, and lobbied congress for stiffer penalties for dog fighting participants and spectators. He has also endured substantial career and financial repercussions for his actions. There are many things that he did before and after the attrocious events for which he was convicted. Just like it is completely appropriate for you to not forget what he did that landed him in prison, it is important not to forget that he is a person who has also made many positive contributions to society and those should not be forgotten either. He was a stand out athelete at Virginia Tech, his being nominated for the Heisman as well as his many other accomplishments with the Hokies are significant and should not be nullified.

I don't know about you, but if all anyone ever thought about me or allowed others to remember about me was the worst thing I had ever done in my life my life would be pretty miserable. Luckily, I am not a celebrety and most people have no idea, nor do they care, about what that thing is... and I am therefore allowed to be seen as a complete complex human being. Please don't define Mike Vick (or anyone else) by there single most horrible act, that is not who they are... it is what they have done and most people learn from their mistakes and move on to make better decisions in the future.[/quote]
