Oh but the rich and famous does fly. You've only given one little example. On average the rich and famous have better legal help, and more access to all avenues of assistance. Of course it makes a difference, and the rich are different. That doesn't mean there would never be an example of a rich man being held accountable, but in general, as a class, there is less chance of it, and probably at lesser degrees. That's life. Privilege is privilege, no matter how much we'd like to believe in all that egalitarian nonsense, it is, in the end, nonsense. (Necessary nonsense, of course. Helps to keep down the revolutionaries if everyone believes the system is "fair". )
