Sexual Tensions???

I haven't written in this blog for almost a month and have really missed it! However, today I feel compelled to address an issue that is enough to drive almost anyone crazy who has any common sense at all!!!
Let's talk sex!!! (I bet that got your attention huh?) Or actually, to be more accurate, let's talk about illegal sex (rape) and illicit sex (affairs). First out the chute there's Roman Polansky who was convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl over 30 years ago!!! He served 42 days in jail while awaiting trial and on the day he was to be sentenced and could have gotten up to three years in prison, he fled the country. Since then he has been living like a king in France and has never been brought to justice. Now that he is once again behind bars and fighting extradition back to the United States, he is being backed by the "Hollywood intellectual elites".....like Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Winger and many others!!!! They are actually petitioning to have him released and be allowed to remain a free man because "It was SO long ago", "The victim forgives him and wants him left alone", "He suffered so much as a young man" and "He's such a great producer!" for example. Does anyone else see something wrong, very wrong with this picture?
The fact of the matter is that he is a felon, a fugitive convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl!!!! All the reasons that the "Hollywood intellectual elites" use as justification for letting him go mean absolutely NOTHING! I am impressed that the victim herself forgives him and wants him left alone at this point, but that doesn't mean by any stretch of the imagination that he should not be held accountable for his actions. Also keep in mind that he has never expressed any kind of remorse for his crime. He has simply flipped our great country and legal system the "middle finger", and lived like a king amid riches, fame and glory!
So with all this in mind, I submit the following: If it were me or any other "average joe" who had done this, fled and was finally captured over 30 years later, there would be NO public outcry from Hollywood for my or our release! There would be nothing on the news channels championing my or our actions. There would only be a solid outcry of "At last......!" and "Bring him back and let him rot in prison for the rest of his life". Isn't this what should be happening regarding Roman Polansky???
I have a 14 year old daughter whom I love more than life itself. I can't imagine having had a sleaze-bag like Polansky drug and rape her more than a year ago and then being ok with him leaving the country to live like a king, thumb his nose at the crime he's committed and leaving my daughter with the scars that would most certainly result from his actions! Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg and all the others should put themselves in that position and ask how they would feel if the victim had been THEIR daughter??? I would be willing to bet that their take on the situation would be a complete reversal of what they are saying now.
While this is going on, another slime-bag is being tried for continually raping Elizabeth Smart numerous times a day after kidnapping her at the age of 9 years old. Obviously this guy is far worse than Polansky, but they committed the same crime sexually. By the way, I stand in awe of the strength of Elizabeth Smart for testifying as she has done with the whole world watching. I also feel great sorrow for the parents, family and friends of Ms. Smart as they continue to find more about the heart-breaking treatment of their daughter.
Lastly, late-night talk show host David Letterman has admitted to having a number of sexual affairs with members of his staff and then being blackmailed for it. Let me make it perfectly clear that I do not condone the blackmail and feel the culprit should pay the appropriate penalty for doing so. However, I would like to point out the unbelievable hypocrisy of Letterman. This is a very liberal person who has taken any and every opportunity to tear up any conservative who has tread into the waters of sexual affairs. He has demeaned, belittled and insulted them at every opportunity.......all while doing the very same thing himself!!!! Is that not the very height of hypocrisy???? And is the media focusing on the affairs or his hypocrisy in this situation??? No. They are focusing only on the blackmail portion with the hopes of making all of American feel sorry for Letterman and view him only as a victim. Do I feel that way? Not so much....!
So, with all this in mind, we have three guys involved with sexual situations that are muddying the waters around them. Granted, what Letterman did is not illegal but it is viewed by most Americans as immoral. However, two of these men concerned have the media and Hollywood trying to sway the court of opinion in such a way as to paint them as victims when they are not. All of them have either broken the law and as such should penalized appropriately or have done the very same actions that they have vehemently condemned others for. Bottom line: Polansky and the Smart rapist should go to prison and Letterman should stop being a hypocrite and attacking others for actions he himself is guilty of! 'Nuff said!
