Inconsistencies are disturbing

Not being a psychiatrist, I still can identify psychotic social inconsistency. One manifestation was the media furor over Michael Vick's so misusing dogs that the survivors are unadoptable. As this was making headlines, 4,000 potential citizens were violently prevented from being born -- each day. This cruelty deserves a thousand times more indignation than dog-fighting; that it's not getting it is frightening.
