I wonder
why
in action and adventure movies
like Gladiator
and
Rob Roy
always
kick off the
‘ Heroes Journey?’
I wonder
why
are always twenty something
girls
with twenty something
waistlines
and
how come in
Star Wars
which
“borrows its themes and fight scenes so obviously from samurai and kung-fu flicks“
do we never see an
actual
Not Even
a pretend one?
I just wonder
why.

Lizzie Borden- she was a woman- she was a killer -and she got away with two of the most hands on brutal killings in American History.
To refresh your memory, Lizzie lived in a state where ( in 1692 anyway ) you could just accuse a woman of being a witch and have her executed…just like that.
Another thing to keep in mind is that in 1892 women ( including Lizzie ) didn’t even have the right to vote-
that didn’t happen until 1920.
Anway- I think she did it but to this day Lizzie has her supporters and they say she’s innocent.
One of the arguments in her defense- which I think underscores the fact that Lizzie was found innocent because of her sex- was based on the time lines established for the killings.
Lizzie’s Stepmother was supposed to have been killed an hour or so before her Father.
The theory is that it was very unlikely that someone ( like a WOMAN ) who inflicted that kind of damage on a person with an AX could have left a dead mutilated body upstairs and gone on with her day and then come back later and did the same to someone else.
Have you ever seen the pictures of Andrew Borden?
Whoever did that was good and angry, they had worked themselves up into a mindless rage and that kind of rage can happen in the blink of an eye or it can build up…
say…
over an hour or so.

There are Three Good rock solid reasons for why Paris Hilton needs to be sent back to jail:
She broke the law.
She broke the law.
She broke the law.
And as an FYI they don’t suspend your license for fun, it’s usually a sign you’ve got a problem like this guy.
So go back to jail Hilton, you aren’t singing any song that every single jail bird before you hasn’t sung before. (I learned my lesson, I don’t belong here… etc etc ). It doesn’t work for them and it sure as hell shouldn’t work for you.
Oh yes…I almost forgot… as Hilton sat at home eating celebration cupcakes ( I’m not kidding about that part ) her attorney issued this statement:
“I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally,” she said. “I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes.”
The only lesson we’ve learned here is that there’s Paris Hilton and the rest of humanity.
