OT: Masters of the Universe should be held to different standards from the general population? Perhaps sleazy non-sexual affairs, providing subordinates with phony expense numbers or directing subordinates to falsify reports ---all piddling things like this should have no consequences for the Masters. Of course, for anyone else not a Master, this cannot apply. After all we don't want everyone in our companies now going out to purposely lie egregiously on THEIR expense reports assuming if they get caught, at worst they'll only have to pay back the $ amount in question. The USA doesn't have a king or queen or official royalty class. Instead, for many people, it's celebrities who are our substitute royalty. We read about them, follow them around, and are in awe of them when we're in their presence. So these celebs too, in their way, are Masters of the Universe. And thus perhaps they also should not be held accountable for their actions as might plain folk. Lindsy Lohan, Paris Hilton -- celebs and wealth creators that they are (They keep many people employed), they should never be arrested or thrown in the slammer just because they broke a few laws that the common folk are subject to. :>)
