He noted that dogfighting is outlawed in all 50 states, and a felony in all but two -- Idaho and Wyoming.' Here’s a key quote I should have included from later in the article:

I remember at HLC how there were always dogs whining and barking behind the building, from the top floor of the center you could see these dogs were living in abandoned houses. The big question of WHY is more discouraging. My understanding is folks fight dogs to gamble. As our friends at Casino Free Philadelphia could tell you, gambling is highly addictive and rarely benefits a community. Michael Vick might be a great person to ask. According to <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN0444500720070905" rel="nofollow">Whoopi Goldberg</a>, this is a southern tradition: "He's from the South, from the Deep South ... This is part of his cultural upbringing," Goldberg said of the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, whose recent fall from grace has been one of the most stunning in the history of U.S. sports. Have any friends or relatives in the south? Might want to ask them if they agree with Goldberg. Nice post, Peak. I like how you connected this handful of experiences into a bigger discussion.

If my memory serves me well he left as the first issue of the paper was being put together. Glory is actually one of my favorite movies. Though I never thought of myself as the soldier say that line. Thanks again Mr. Bob. When being asked to make sure that everything goes well with the NPM I kind of view myself as a Jedi Knight from Star Wars. Yeah I may be a geek, so what. I also picture myself as Spider-Man, Batman, and Peter Pevensie from the Chronicles of Narnia. This is when whoever is reading this comment is supposed to laugh.

Cause when the world wakes up to find the gem in you. You mail boxes will overflow with coorespondence, locally, state wide and nationally. The global investors will want to interview you and buy your ideas or set you up in their countries. I thought i saw a Japanese camera crew near 24th and Ridge ave looking for the NPM offices for a story about YOU. Best wishes.....Bob Peak, enjoy the slow days when the mail stacks are kinda small.

I remember a line in the movie, Glory, where the colonel said about the flag during the upcoming battle between the north and the south. He said if this man should fall, who will pick up the flag and carry on, a brave soldier said, I will sir, I will. That's how most projects become successful. Peak said I will sir, and thus the NPM is marching on! I also stand in line to say, I will sir, I will, Peak is my editor and I am learning the business from him. Thanks for the history lesson.
