<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>This is a topic about which
I know little, so I feel compelled to discuss it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>I like Martha Stewart's
magazine, television show, line of merchandise and her personal sense of style
and taste.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>I am sad that she made some
apparent bad choices and I hope that she has learned not to make those same
mistakes, or ones like them, in the future.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>In Mexico, just showing her
picture on the news associated with wrong-doing would have been shaming enough
and that would have been her punishment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080 size=2>Here in America she
spends time in jail while those more deserving of punishment roam the
streets and prey on the less fortunate.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>"Celebrity homemaker Martha Stewart has been sentenced to
five months in prison and fined $30,000 for lying to investigators about her
sale of ImClone Systems stock in late 2001"(CNN).<BR><BR>5 Months in Jail, 2
years probation, and $30K, I think it's a joke and a half. WAY too short of
time in Jail and what's $30K to a woman who owns millions? Then for her to
quote Nelson Mandela is absurd! "Martha Stewart invoked the name of Nelson
Mandela, South Africa's persecuted anti-apartheid hero, saying "many, many
good people have gone to prison"" (CNN). <BR><BR>It's a great example for the
rest of the "world" to see we're not going to tolerate this. But at the same
time I think we took one of the smaller fish in the "cooperate sea" and made
her the example instead of going after one of the monster "cooperate fish" in
our cooperate world.<BR><BR>Nice to see a little justice. Me dos
centavos.<BR><BR>God bless,<BR>Lance<BR>All the people, lemme hear you give a
holler:<BR>IN GOD WE TRUST! IN GOD WE TRUST!<BR>We stamp it on our penny,
nickel, dime, quarter, dollar.<BR>IN GOD WE TRUST! IN GOD WE TRUST!<BR>--
