Tom Cruise

I do, along with a nice camera and good set of tools in the garage.

There's always been a two tiered justice system, whether it's enforced or just simply taken. Many years ago (so it's safe to talk about it now) my dad used to work for the motion picture industry and knew a guy who actually committed murder. It cost him his entire savings, home, assests and toys but he walked.

Before the recriminations start, I didn't know the guy, his name (but was told I met him) and it was long after the fact. Life can be brutish, painful and short unless you have the cash.

I'd like to add that in no way do I mean to say there is any kind of parity between illegal parking and murder or that it denotes a slippery slope of any kind. I'm sure Tom Cruise is a very likable and well intentioned individual who simply doesn't want to deal with dings in the doors of his Lambo.

It's all how a culture values life. In America, it's not uncommon for a motorist to hit a motorcyclist and simply say he/she didn't see him which absolves them of some, if not most, responsibility. In Japan, if you do that, it's an admission of guilt and off to jail you go. The way they see it over there, if you have a license to drive a car, you are held to a strict standard of accountability that comes with the license.

I could only find two instances, online, where there's a photocopy of Bush's dui record. One was in Maine and the other in Texas. How many warnings and rides home he got is anecdotal. Both times they were reported by the media, including that one called FOX.
