"that's Justice"

What examples do our courts send... When Lohan and Hilton are free I bet... Football players can drink and drive... Yet the next day score a TD and still high five... Baseball players can get all juiced up... And still set records we could all look up... A slap on the wrist if your lawyers get their fee... Just keep breaking the law and you too can be free... Its sad for our kids to look up to this and smile... They have to learn to win ,you must finish the mile.. This is our justice system so wrong and so true... Just don't be Plaxico and shoot yourself in the shoe... For contest "Outrageous Rhyme"by Catie Lindsey

BRILLIANT... and this after that awful Giants loss I bet... so much truth to your elegant words luv... they are iconic heroes to our youth and yet.. look at the stats of their personal issues against their professional heroics.. do not balance luv.. u have expressed so very well..

Oh yeah, this is going to score high, Michael. Celebrities and others with money can hire lawyers to get them out of just about any jams. (OJ is a good example) Our "role models" should be held to the same standards as the rest of us. Best wishes in Catie's contest! Love, Carolyn
