Martha Stewart and the Judicial System
Martha Stewart has given hope to all kinds of criminals and convicts hoping to get out of prison and start a new life.
The lady commits a criminal activity with her business. Rather than fight it out, she volunteers to go to prison to serve out her term. In doing this she fosters a whopping media buzz that follows her every move in jail. Upon her release, she is richer and bigger than ever with her own tv show(s)and her company is doing better than ever.
Whatever happened to those days when we shunned those who have committed crime? Right here in Canada, we got a glimpse of the good old days with Karla Homulka who was released from prison and continues to be hounded by the media. Unlike Ms. Stewart, Homulka does not have a tv show and probably will never live a normal life due to the constant media scrutiny and the severity of her crimes.
Back to Stewart, what does it say about the judicial system when a person can actually benefit from going to prison? Did Martha really pay a price for breaking the law? Martha's price is a heavy one. She has committed to show us how we should be tending to our garden, how to get the best out of homecare because you never know when you will have to leave it behind to go to prison. The legal system was kind enough that she accepts a humble monetary remuneration for all the hard laborious work.
We forget the crime bit because Martha already pleaded guilty. Upon forgetting that we applaud the resilience of her spirit -- "Thank you Martha, you are my hero."
On the other end of the scale, two other celebrities never learned Martha's secret for success. Two such losers are Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson. When was the last time you saw OJ Simpson in a movie? or any sort of media appearance? Everyone is either too scared of this murderer or they are unimpressed with his sleuthing work to find his wife's killers. Apparently there is a lot of evidence lying around at the various golf courses. Michael Jackson right now has enough "thriller" aura to excite an amoeba. If he is guilty of the alleged crimes, he will do a lot more screening of the kids he lets sleep in his bed. "Let's see...you have no parents or legal guardian? You have been deemed slower than average with no hope to become smarter? You don't have a clue who Michael Jackson is? Ok..hop in for bedtime!!!" Apart from making a morbid children's album, Mikey's top ten chart toppers are a thing of the past. The only press he will generate now is making appearances and producing more controversy like when he comes to Toronto, he can dangle one of his kids of the CN Tower while checking out the revolving restaurant.
Martha, please...talk to OJ and Michael and show them how its done and our ever fair judicial system will take care of the rest.
