Paris Hilton Goes to Jail

While this is a tabloid trashy story I do have a reason to post this. So, La Paree went to jail, boo-hoo. This isn't just about La Paree. This is an issue about drunk driving. In case you have better things to do than to follow the lives of hoochie mommas, let me quickly fill you in. La Paree was charged with DUI last September and was told she was unable to drive. In January this year she was stopped for driving on a suspended license. She signed a document saying she acknowledged she couldn't drive. Again, in February she was pulled over. Then she was sentenced to jail for 46 days. It was reduced to 23 days for "good behavior" whatever that is supposed to mean. Well last night she started her sentence.
Here is my point, whether it is some rich pop tart or the average American, drunk driving kills people. Innocent lives are lost. Usually the people who die or are injured are people who haven't even had one sip of alcohol. I don't care who you are, if you do the crime you do the time. Fortunately, no one was injured during the times she was drinking and driving.
Now that has been said, I am taking up a collection for a wedding present for her and "Big Bertha." Any suggestions? In case you are interested here is the article about her "checking in."
