170. True. Look at Paris Hilton or Martha Stewart. There's a special glee some people get
in seeing women being punished.

When I heard Paris Hilton was being released to home confinement I was originally appalled because it appeared to be another case of preferential treatment based on her wealth.

But I've since learned that her punishment is rather worse than standard for these cases.

I don't think her celebrity or wealth should get her better or worse treatment. And though I don't find her an appealing or likable person, I don't see any reason to rejoice in her unhappiness.
