NO SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR CELEBRITIES

I believe that it is time for this country to start living by the idea of
liberty and justice for all and stop playing favorites with laws in regard
to "celebrities."

In the case of Darryl Strawberry, for instance, if he is guilty of a crime,
send him to jail! If he is, as his lawyers and the media want to make us
believe, only a sick man who needs treatment, then release several thousand
others who are in that same boat and get them the treatment they need.

A celebrity is a person with a job, usually to entertain the masses. They
are not gods who are above the written or moral laws! The whole
entertainment industry has gotten out of hand, especially with salaries,
but also where they have been placed on the pecking order of society. Some
celebrities openly instigate violence, sexual perversion, drug use and, in
some cases, anarchy.

What is wrong with us? Why do we continue to support astronomical wealth
for people who tend to steer us in these directions? Are we really that
bored with life that killing and sexual perversion excite us that much? If
so, God help us.
