By the way, I'm not impressed by the "class warriors" who continually bring up Paris Hilton. Talk about an all-too-convenient scapegoat for the gap between rich and poor. If you don't like the culture, don't buy into it. Plain and simple. Paris Hilton is purely a symbol of what is wrong in this country. There are many more from where she comes. Most of them are not as stupid to flaunt their good fortune. But there is always a Paris or a Prince Harry to remind us of how we are not quite as democratic as we pretend to be nor quite as equal as we like to think we are.
