To people who can barely make ends meet, it is offensive. You statement is inaccurate, at least as the universial statement you make it. Not all people who can barely make ends meet are prone to jealousy or support of socialism. And while some do find in offensive, very few find it as offensive, as strongly religious church goers would find half naked prostitutes trying to pick up business in a church. I repeat.......its offensive that she has all this money and fame that she flaunts 24/7 and then she refuses to obey the law. Now you can pretend this is fine but to many people its pure, unadulterated offensive. As an aside, how you got socialism out of that premise is beyond me. I'm afraid you don't understand the mood in this country. I think your wrong about the mood, or perhaps more accuratly I should say that your only talking about the mood of a minority. In any case I wasn't talking about moods so much, but about the nature of an action. Even if Paris "flaunting her wealth" is as worth of disdain as prostitutes "displaying their wares" and picking up tricks (and I don't think most people would agree with you on that), doing the action in public spaces is less offensive then invading someone's private space with it. I repeat.......I don't think you understand the mood of the country. There was a time in this country when the rich knew to be reserved about their wealth. Sometime in the last 15-20 years that all changed and people are getting fed up even as they struggle to keep up.
