I'm all for justice but the war in Iraq in unjust started on lies and continued only to secure the oil in that  country.

Does Paris deserve jail time, is that justice? probably. Is it more important and more newsmorthy the the mess of a war? Hell no!

People are sentence to DUI and parole offences almost everyday, The Fact that some "socialite" got busted really shouldn't be news. Or at least news that has a half life of over a month. The Paris Hilton Sentence should have been a footnote, not a headliner.

Former presidents (Very rich men.... ) have the gall to go on TV after Katrina and the Tsunami and lay a guilt trip on us to send in money to help people who are bad off.  W.T.F!  Where is all the damn money I pay in taxes..... I don't see the Rich helping out much.... The Government isn't helping either.

I'm 43 and this country is going to shit. Everything is upside down, Damn liberals. There is a saying I use all the time: "Common sense is uncommon"

If Paris Hilton had no money tomorrow, we would never see her again on TV. Bet on it.

You right, no special TV coverage for our Service men and women on the line in Iraq, and the rest of the world, so that skinny bird nose witch can drive her $100K convertible drunk. Where are the petitions for the rest of us?

The founding fathers warned against what is happening in America today, when they framed our governement in the 1780's. Many didn't want any form of monarchy.

President John Adams worried about this too. He knew that even though we left England behind after the revolution he believed (rightly so) there would be other forms of elitism that would develop. He especially worried about the wealthy land owners and the highly educated (lawyers, men of business: bankers) accumulating power and influence over and being in government. He saw the cult of personality as a problem in our republic. Paris Hilton is just one very small part of this disease.

Look at the last 10 presidents only President Ford was not an extreme wealthy lawer or business man but a long term politician. The rest were Men that made millions and the salary of the President was not an incentitive to them for the job. they are the priviledged elite that John Adams told us to be ever watchful of.... remember they are really running this country not us.

Think about it.

I personally think that the work former Presidents Clinton and Bush have done is great. it's not like the money they were collecting went into their own pockets, it went to the thousands who needed our help.

As for the tax dollars issue unfortunately we do not have enough in our budget to cover every disastor and that is where the red cross and salvation army and others come in.

Although I do consider myself a liberal, I do not think this is a "red state/blue state" thing. I think it is the manor in which our society has become desperate, depressed, and lonely..

but, still thanks for your reply.
