Paris Hilton Saga

The ridiculous saga of Paris Hilton... I cannot believe I am even adding to the din over this, but it does bear commenting on at this point. Justice for the rich is different than justice for the poor. How much more evidence do we need? It is 9:49 California time and it has been confirmed that Ms. Hilton does not have to appear in court, but may testify by phone. Please. If someone breaks the law, there is a consequence. At least, that is the theory. However, as it has been noticed in this country, if you have enough money, you can break the law and actually not suffer any consequences at all. Remember a certain O.J. Simpson who was found "not guilty" (which certainly is not the same as "innocent" now is it?) of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Thus, we know already in this country that with enough money, justice can be more than blind, she can be deaf, dumb and quite retarded.

Ms. Hilton actually did go to jail. She spent a night or two on that steel frame bed with the four inch mattress and toilet right in the same room. I believe the lights were on at all times as well. Please, do not think for one moment that I have any sympathy for Ms. Hilton as I do not. I think she needs to be back behind bars right this second. We need to somehow make sure that money does not once again render our lady justice more than just blind. If we do not, we make it that much easier for the rich to believe they can do anything, including murder without consequence.

Ms. Hilton is the one who put herself out into the spotlight. Now, she will serve a true purpose for living in the spotlight if there is any true justice in this country. Let that spotlight shine on her while she is in jail.
