Greetings All,
I read this thread, and found myself needing to interject a couple of
things... sorry.
Regarding initial Ken's comment... Jealous, not on this end.
Disgusted with
the rich witch attitude that rules are not made for her to follow
because
she is above that, DEFINITELY.
Regarding his further comment about the Roman Circus and dogs, a
little
story might be in order.
My brother and sister-in laws had a fully grown Great Dane that they
let run
wild. The dog thought he was the master of that house as evidenced by
his
challenging the owners to a point of their being afraid to do
something (In
Paris' case perhaps the parents thought themselves above the rest of
us so
let their little princess run wild as well using their money to "FIX"
things
when she went astray) to correct the situation. One day the dog
actually
physically threatened the wife (all 5 feet of her when in her third
trimester of pregnancy), and it happened my wife and I were staying
with
them during the time for escrow to close on our home. The short story
goes
like this... the dog was taught respect for others and that he wasn't
the
one who did as he pleased. Was the lesson the type the liberal, poor
boy a
product of his environment liberal idiots would have preferred,
definitely
not, did it get the dogs attention and teach him his behavior would
not be
tolerated, most assuredly. In fact after getting his attention
showing
appreciation for his proper attitude and loving him up for it made
the
owners comment positively about the new dog in the house. In fact, he
went
from the owners talking about destroying him due to them fearing him,
to a
well mannered, loving dog that protected his yard, but was not
vicious
toward the guest if told it was OK.
Is it a shame Paris had to be subjected to this? Yes, and I think the
press
and society should express their disgust with the parents role in the
whole
mess. They taught her and reinforced to her the belief that she was
beyond
society's rules (also its laws)
Also was mentioned Paris had a good attitude going into Jail, my
question
here is how much of it was an act/just for show. I am firmly
convinced if
it were the average person no one would care if we had a "Undisclosed
Medical" condition that could only be fixed by going home we would
have
never left the jail. I wonder how much or what it was the LA Sheriff
got for
letting her go home, that is a question and opinion that I think we
all have
a right to ask. Something stinks in that arena and should be further
pursued/prosecuted.
I think Paris should behave herself, accept her punishment like an
adult,
and look forward to 5 days off for good behavior (if she can last her
sentence out without throwing a hissy fit.
Has this upset some who are Pro Paris... probably, if so perhaps you
should
get a dose of reality and acknowledge that if you do the crime, you
will do
the time. Paris willfully drove on a suspended license in a somewhat
dangerous way (she was not identified during a random traffic stop
for a
burned out brake light) on more than one occasion,
I could continue on but have overstayed my welcome I think. The fact
is that
Paris made the conscious decision to disobey the law, and now has a
ticket
to ride for that.
Best to all,
Bruce Smith
Bruce, don't leave. Please stay. That was a good letter and I agree
with your viewpoint and your dog story. I just had our old dumb, half
chow have ten other things in mind while I was writing that. Your
point is equally valid.
I know most of the attention, it seems, has been from the Pro Paris
people and I am not one of these (it took me a long time to learn to
tell she and Britney apart...and a whole lot of other stamped out
blondes). Or the other side of the group which seems to be the
"throw-the-book-at-the-little-rich, Snot" group, and I am not one of
these.
I am, however, interested in those who are very wealthy with old
money. I got interested in this class because of my trying to
understand the landed gentry (particularly the peerage) in G.
Britain. I have read about these folks most of my life.
This Hilton thing has become so bizarre that I was looking at it as if
she were socially handicapped (and she is) and if we have a different
criteria for behavior and punishment for the underprivileged as we do
for the privileged? At least, there is no confusion about what she
did and did not do.
Maybe we cut them a lot of slack and then want to give them heck when
they screw up. I dunno'.
(I bet she can't play the ukulele. Maybe she could learn while she is
in the velvet slammer. <g>)

I m not so sure that she is being punished for being rich as much as
she is being punished because sometimes judges get real pissed when
they give someone a chance to get out of a jam without doing jail time
and that person totaly ignores the judge's ruling.
David
I agree. Particularly when according to an AP reporter ...
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca said Hilton did get special
treatment because of her celebrity status: "She got more time in
jail."

It would be interesting to see if that judge has had a similar case
with someone who is not a celebrity and see what kind of jail term he
gave that person.

I wonder if Hilton is serving time for the DUI or contempt of court or
both.

We know why she is serving time. The amount and the way it is being
handled is the question. She has become the tool in a media war among
political figures.

She who lives by the press will die by the press...or something like
that.

Ken


Yes, you said she was dismayed at the attention her case has drawn; I
suspect she would have been dismayed had it not drawn the attention.

-Raf

Raf, I don't know if I ever said that and I didn't mean to imply it.
This woman doesn't seem very bright at all and I can see why she would
be a little on the shallow side.

And this, too me, has become the most interesting facet of the whole
thing, the level of stupidity with so much opportunity. This is not
like the old money in Britain was.

She might believe that any press is better than no press. A lot of
Southern CA is that way. And I am sure early on, she might have
thought it would be a more gentle press that could help her. But
jeez! She did some really d-u-m things.

I wonder at what point she wished the press would go away.

I did hear one funny thing today though, a guy said that the Democrats
want amnesty for two-million illegal aliens (snip)

Except that it's not amnesty, and it's a bipartisan bill ;-)
