Whoever said humans were innately sympathetic were wrong. Paris Hilton's incarceration demonstrates that. If you bother to read the entertainment section in any newspaper, you'd know how she was dragged back from her home to serve the remainder of her jail sentence.

I myself join in the chorus of praise. No leniency for this girl. Go Judge and prosecutors! She's done wrong, and gotta pay for it. You reap what you sow. Etcetera.

Ah yes, I'm feeling it all over. Makes me warm inside.
