The practice of bestowing a ceremonial "key to the city" dates back to medieval times. Feudal lords protected their cities with high walls and imposing gates. All manner of legal papers and customs taxes were required to enter and exit.
A "key to the city" gave an important diplomat or merchant the authority to pass at will. A similar ceremonial honor, "freedom of the city," also dates back from the days of knights and jousts. Freemen were distinguished from vassals, who were legally owned by feudal lords. Ah, the bad old days.
Today, cities give their keys to esteemed visitors, prominent locals, and worthy organizations. Last year New York City awarded a key to a taxi driver who graciously returned a bag containing tens of thousands of dollars in pearls.

The story and video confirmed two things I have suspected for a while...
Dwaine Caraway is a racist and worthless as a public "servant".
And Michael Vick did not do nearly enough time in prison."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

If Vick gets it, every single person who served time should get one after being good for a year or so. What's the difference between him and every other ex-con? (This is NOT a racial thing, like I've mentioned before a lot of my family falls in that category)
As usual, those of us who manage to keep our nose clean just get the usual bullshit everyday.Originally posted by MR EDDU defend him who use's racial slurs like hes drinking water.
