My "
Puppy Principle" cartoon has been making its way around the internet a bit. Most people seem to get it, but -- as I initially anticipated -- I've heard from a couple angry readers who think I'm defending Michael Vick or downplaying the heinousness of his cruelty to animals. Let me state categorically that this is not the case. The purpose of the cartoon is to point out the cognitive dissonance between Americans' reactions to Vick's cruelty and other forms of cruelty perpetrated on humans on a much wider scale.
