Looking at the big picture I also see a problem that our society refuses to acknowledge and that is that drunk driving is a huge problem in this country, which you can see by taking a look at some of Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s general statistics. With that in mind I would like to give my closing quote to MADD’s National President Glynn R. Birch:
This is not hot. MADD is disappointed that Paris Hilton is not accepting the consequences for her serious actions. MADD believes everyone convicted of drunk driving should be held accountable and receive an alcohol ignition interlock device on their vehicle. A person typically drives drunk nearly 100 times before they are arrested, so being lenient with "first-time" drunk drivers does society more danger in the long run. A 5000-pound vehicle in the hands of a drunk driver is a weapon.
Stay tuned and stay safe.
PS: It’s not over yet.

Good analysis. Nonetheless, I think the clearest indictment in all of this should be larged against the media, for their wall-to-wall coverage this story ... Media Are a Girls' Best Friend

Blowing a point 08 is not exactly fall down drunk. At that level of intoxication you're no more dangerous than someone on their cellphone or choking down a burger behind the wheel.
Her punishment is probably more severe than the average person (and expecially an illegal immigrant) who broke similiar laws. Celebrity justice certainly cuts both ways. There are many who cater to the wealthy, there are equally many bitter, hateful types who are jealous of the money and status. I think you see examples of both in Mrs. Hilton's case.

I think Paris is A bad role model and to stick up for her is to stick up for someone who didn't have to work hard to get where they are.

I suppose that Paris can not be blamed for getting special treatment, however she can be blamed for expecting and demanding it. The worst thing about her is that she does pretty much everything that she does for publicity purposes only. She does not make "music" because she has something to express through art, she does it because she wants fame and money. She does not get roles in films because she is truly interested in acting and cinema but because she wants press and cash. She lacks integrity both in her personal and professional life, the product of her "work" is horrible, she is very promiscuous, and she simply isn't a very real person. I agree entirely with you, she is a good role model when it comes to how not to act. But hey, not everyone is cut out to be a role model, celebrities are just humans who make mistakes and have to strive to change, just like us. The problem is that she lacks actual talent, maturity, personality, and does not seem to have the want to change. Why is everyone so interested in her? Sigh, my culture worries me sometimes...
