So yesterday morning I was reading this week's TIME magazine and it had an article about the largest crackdown of dog fighting in recent history. The article featured the story of what happened, but it also had full colored photos of all the dogs. It was sad, but cute.
A little later in the day, I was reading with a student who I don't typically work with (two of my case load students were absent). He had brought a Pokemon book to read. Here's kind of how it went:
Ash: Pikachu, I choose you!
Rival: Fire thing, I choose you!
Ash: Use Lightning Bolt!
Rival: Use Flamethrower!
(A few pages later)
Rival: I don't care about being friends with my pokemon... All I care about is catching them all...
Ash: No way... There's nothing more important than being your pokemon's friend and learning from them.
Okay... this is from the kid who just sent his little electric puppy on a killing spree against another puppy that shoots fire. Nice friend...
So I wrote this over two days and it has gotten to be a bit long. To sum up, pokemon is raising a generation of dog fighters. The end.
