Back on topic: Beauty supports the Beast! Elizabeth Taylor has raised her voice in concern at the escalation of NATO air strikes against Kosovo. The FLINTSTONES star is in London to receive a fellowship from the BRITISH ACADEMY OF FILM AND TELEVISION ARTS. But Taylor was in no mood to talk showbiz. "I hope it doesn't turn into another Vietnam," the star told the microphones. "This could accelerate into something disastrous where unnecessary lives are lost. I think that would be just awful." Elizabeth Taylor continued, blasting the NATO operation: "I think everyone should tend to their own wars!"

I'll tell you a little story. When i first moved to this island about 17 years ago, I read a story in the local rag about a white guy that looked at the wrong girl in the local disco. About 7 or 8 locals started pounding him right there and then. The bouncers threw them all out(didn't call the cops). They just didn't want the place getting torn up. Well the guy was first out the door(he was apparently ejected first for "starting" everything. He made it to his car somehow just before the crowd arrived to finish the job. They started breaking out his windows with lava rocks and he was just able to back out and get away and make it up the hospital. He accidently backed over the leg of one of the attackers as he made his escape. Bottom line, he was charged with attempted murder and eventually got 10 years. None of the attackers(hey, there was onlly 8 of 'em!) were charged with anything! That's justice in Hawaiii. Local style.
