  The Black Hole of Paris

  I admit I've been sucked into the Paris Jail Vortex. It astonishes me that, like a train wreck, I can't look away. I think my issue is that I want there to be some kind of justice in the world (legal or karmic) so that Hilton must face the consequences of her behavior -- and I'm not just talking about the DUI/suspended license behavior. She sounds like an imbecile -- and here's someone who's had every opportunity to make something of herself and contribute to society and she's chosen -- this?

  Is she being unfairly treated? I don't know. As MacK said she broke the law, agreed to the sentence, then TWICE was stopped doing exactly what she had promised she wouldn't do. Sister needs someone to give her some boundaries. Apparently her parents aren't capable.

  Which brings me to Paris's parents. What a couple of enabling idiots those two are. Had I made of sex video that was widely distributed, flashed my privates, or for that matter, had I driven while drunk, I doubt my parents would continue to finance, nay DEFEND, my lifestyle. But then, I'm just a middle class schlub.

  Being rich is a hard karma, and it's reassuring that we have to pay, one way or the other. Paris can be shielded from a lot of unpleasant things, but apparently she can't be shielded from herself. Hope she grows up, then maybe she'll take herself out of the limelight (this will probably happen when GWB admits he's been the worst president ever.)
