    I feel sorry for her

    yes I do, but only because of a general bent toward compassion. She can't help being rich and spoiled, unprepared for the harsh realities of life. At the same time, I could care less if she learns and grows from her experience. Her emotional, physical, or intellectual state is of no concern to me. What I do care about is the fact that legions of empty headed little girls are thinking to themselves right about now: "hmmm, it's not hot to drive drunk".

    Look at it this way, Paris. This is the only good thing you have ever done for the general welfare of the community.
