She's Not the Only One!

It's not often that I find myself on the same side as the Reverends' Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. But for once I am glad they are here. As I'm sure most of the known world has already heard that Paris the Heiress has been released from her jail cell to fulfill the remainder of her sentence in the lap of luxury that is her own home.

WTF! No, this is worth spelling out...WHAT THE FUCK?

I don't know to what avail they will be able to reverse this serious miscarriage of justice, but whatever they try I'm behind them all the way! (Even if it is from 2500 miles away) I can't believe that the Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney thought they'd be able to get away with this with there not being a huge media fall out.

I was on the MSN forum regarding this topic and in the time it took me to post my coment 40 more pages had been added. 40 pages! When I went back to check it around 3 pm, it had jumped to nearly 900 with almost 10,000 comments. You think she'll be able to sweep this one under the rug? Paris Haters had kept largely to themselves up to this point, being that "hating" on her too much would be a waste of their precious time, and she didn't deserve it. But, rest assured that now, it's on! She is going to be a free for all, and I don't know many people who would pass up an opportunity to join the club.

She has sunken to an all time low if you ask me. She had a opportunity to finally be a responsible adult and own up to the consequences of her actions and she blew it. AND, she wasn't alone. The entire justice system of the State of California were sitting there right next to her, holding her hand, and wiping her nose.

Mental Anxiety? That's the best excuse they could come up with to let her weasle out of her sentence? I'm sorry but I've known people who were incarcerated and have had a much worse time coping with it than her, and you don't see them sitting on house arrest instead. They've had children die while in jail, and do you think they were allowed out to attend the funeral? Absolutely not!

So, why is Paris so special? She's not even a decent role model! I mean, at least Michelle Rodriguez (who served less than a day of her sentence) isn't an abominable excuse for a human being. If Paris had contributed more to society than paper to wipe my ass with, then maybe I'd say, "okay, fine...3 days is enough." Hell, I'd have been okay with it if they had just said that we're letting her off due to "overcrowding and good behavior." But, letting her out because of the mental anxiety?

So what if she is crying all the time, not sleeping, and not eating? She should have thought about that before she considered getting behind the wheel while intoxicated, and then proceeded to violoate her probation TWICE! (I don't care what she says, she was wrong!)

Well, I've had a couple of hours to cool down and have had a new perspective thrust upon me in those few hours. I went to an "end of the year" social for Kenny's Engineering Society and met the most interesting people I think I've ever had the pleasure of encoutering. And I couldn't help but draw a comparison between this couple and Paris. It just throws into sharp relief the difference between people regaurdless of their level of affluence.

The people I met tonight were very wealthy...maybe not as rich as the Hilton's but just the same. You couldn't tell it by looking at them, or even talking to them for that matter. They were so down to earth and genuinely good people. They have led amazing lives that are filled with connections with people they've touched. They've made a difference in peoples lives.

This couple is moving to India and a few weeks where they have servants and drivers and will basically be living in the lap of luxury. But, they also take their driver to the doctor when he gets an infection (and pay the bill) and they all get their teeth cleaned together. You think Paris would give to shits if her driver had to have surgery on his feet because of the many years spent walking around barefoot? My guess is she'd probably fire him, and leave him to take care of it himself.

The conclusion that I've come to is that even if Paris had no money at all, she'd still be a miserable excuse for a human being. That's a pretty harsh thing to say, but seriously, what good has she done with all the money she has? What charities has she stood for? How many young girls has she talked to about the importance of getting a good education and respecting themselves enough to not sleep around with every guy you meet?

There are alot of people out there who have amazing advice to give. But it seems the only way anyone will listen to them is if they have a lot of money and are a celebrity. So, given that she has all this money (that she didn't earn) and that every girl over the age of 8 knows who Paris Hilton is, why doesn't she try to set a better example.

The only reason I was so glad that she was actually going to jail was because I knew that while incarcerated she would have to face what type of person she is. But, now, thanks to the monkey's sitting in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and District Attorney's Office (and the quack of doctor who certified that she was suffering from "mental anxiety") she gets to return to a slightly hindered version of her life.

Now, she doesn't have to spend 23 hours a day, alone with herself. She can call up her friends and have a party for the next 40 days if she likes. What could she have possibly learned in no more than 78 hours that could change her for the better? My bet is nothing!

I know for a fact that money isn't her problem. Being rich isn't what made her this way. I know plenty of very wealthy people who are stark contrasts of Paris Hilton. For starters, they actually earned their fortunes...they didn't just have it handed down to them.

Anyway, I think I've wasted enough of my (and your) time. I'll be placing bets to see when (in the next 40 days) she violotes again. Man, I hope she does! I'd like to see her wriggle out of that one...alas, she probably will though...the snake that she is.
