So, I’m driving to work today, and I’m listening to the radio. And I hear some news that manages to make me a little angry. You see, if there’s one thing I hate, its leeches of society, if there’s one thing I hate more than that, its FAMOUS leeches of society.
Today’s Leech: Paris Hilton
I could describe all the ways I dislike this person, but that would take far too long. But if you hadn’t heard it, the situation is this:
1. She drinks THEN drives underage, and gets her license suspended.
2. Like the ditz she is, she drives on that suspended license.
3. She is then prosecuted and has to spend some time in jail. To which her, her parents, and her fans moan incessantly about.
You broke the law because you’re an idiot, shut up and go to jail just like everyone else.
But apparently, some people are too good for jail. Too rich, and too famous. After two days, she’s released. Some of the reasons given on the radio?
Her cell was too cold. She was depressed and crying at night.
What? Jail is uncomfortable and unpleasant? I had no idea! Well, its a good thing that fame and fortune are enough to buy justice in this country.
I know people that were given years in jail for DUI and/or driving on suspended licenses. But they’re common and poor. So they don’t matter.
Zel-kun out.

Man, that pisses me off. It absolutely is a slap in the face to ordinary, poor peeps that spend ages and ages in jail.

I’m just waiting for her mommy and daddy to pass away, so I can watch her squander the family fortune down to nothing. Or at least, I can hope.

So much venom.
When has money NOT bought privilege in the history of mankind?

It’s not supposed to. Not to be cheesy, but have you seen a picture of Lady Justice lately? Blindfolded with scales, y’know. Impartiality.

Oh, I don’t disagree.. but all noble human ideas are, after all, carried out by humans. Some days, though, I think people aren’t even trying anymore.

[...] So many posts of Mario’s were either altered or deleted altogether. I don’t blame Dave in the least, he’s in no better position than I to fight lawyers, that would be an awful lot of money. Though it is sad that justice can be bought… didn’t I talk about that at some point in the past? I’m sure I have. [...]
