Uncle Sam is Creepy

Don't you find it amazing that Paris was released from jail for health reasons? There are men and women in our jails and prisons with mental disorders, HIV, AIDS, TB, sexually transmitted diseases, ect. that must remain behind bars and pay their debt to society. They don't get to go home to a house with a movie theater and a bowling alley to serve their time. With news like this, it makes me ask several questions.

Do we truly live in a Democracy? Are the people in the United States really in charge of our government? Is it right that any person off the street gets the book thrown at them if a crime is committed; meanwhile, a person with celebrity status (something that is worshipped like a Greek god in this country) gets a slap on the wrist or sent to rehab? No wonder kids either want to be a professional sports player, or an actor/singer/model. For their 15 minutes of fame, one can get 15 days or 15 years knocked off a prison sentence or better yet 15 months in therapy.

On another note, what’s this talk on erroneous pension plans for ex-senators, missile defense systems in the Czech Republic, and the CIA torturing people? Is this my tax money going to work for Uncle Sam? The whole idea of a red/white/blue tall & skinny old uncle always gave me the creeps. Can I disown my own Uncle, or at least stop giving him money? While he was creepy when I was young, he seems more like a James Bond villain to me now that I’m older.

I guess the lesson for the day is to become rich and famous or have a glorified title to your name and you can do whatever you want in this country while you walk all over the rest of your fellow humans and their silly laws that you are entitled to be above.
