LOHAN, SPEARS COULD HELP PEOPLE, YET JUST PARTY ON

In the Newsmakers column last Wednesday, I read all about Lindsay
Lohan and Britney Spears ("11 days out of rehab, Lohan arrested
again" and "Magazine to cash in on Spears' latest meltdown"). These
are stories that I already had seen on TV, the national news, local
news and in magazines.

It is disgusting what these young celebrities are doing - being
irresponsible citizens, driving under the influence with a suspended
license and possessing cocaine plus endangering the lives of
law-abiding citizens. They do not seem to care or learn a single
thing about being ethical or law-abiding and are in and out of rehab.

Wiping your greasy hands on a Gucci dress? What kind of craziness is
this? These two definitely belong in jail. Where are their parents?
We finally stopped hearing so much about Paris Hilton; now it is Ms.
Lohan and Ms. Spears. They are just plain drunks and addicts and love
the publicity. They could do such wonderful things for people who
have nothing. The two of them are a total insult to the United States.
