Strange, is it not, my brothers, how often in America those great watchwords of human energy - 'Be strong!' 'Know thyself!'

We're obviously in a strange environment where practically anyone can set themselves up as a pundit of sorts.

Michael Vick may enjoy watching dogs fight.

The difference is that people aren't watching.
