All Men Are NOT Created Equal

O.J. Simpson’s antics continue, and I for one am getting tired of the whole affair. Although a jury determined that there was reasonable doubt about Simpson being a murderer, there is no doubt in my mind. Other than being a popular professional football player, what contribution has Simpson made to the betterment of anything? The media circus surrounding his L.A. trial was sick enough, but its revival here in Las Vegas is nauseating. I cannot begin to estimate the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands that have been spent by the City of Las Vegas and Clark County to provide unprecedented security for this Neanderthal who continues to draw media attention like flies to shit. What is wrong with us? There is no question but what the media panders to our morbid curiosity about this nominally human beast. Poor O.J. grimaced as the judge scolded him with a quarter-of-a-million dollar bail, but he walked out of the courtroom the celebrity we have made him. I’m all for putting him back out on the streets just like any other criminal would be and letting fate have its way with him.
