I agree that women shouldn't be in a war zone. But the reality is they are. So I have a hard time working up sympathy for someone who goes catatonic over a 22 day stint in jail where she has to -- gasp -- be alone in climate-controlled cell with plumbing and a bed.

By that logic no one is allowed an opinion about anything unless it is first weighed against the suffering of American women in Iraq.

Since women are dying in Iraq, then Paris would have to be facing the gallows for driving on a susupended license before it would merit consideration in light of what is going on in Iraq.

Uh, hellooo????? I was responding to your plea of sympathy for Paris. You said, "I wonder how many here have ever been locked up? Folks act like county time is so much rose petals and good nosh" No one said it was "rose petals", but it isn't a war zone, either. That is the point. You were the one who brought up conditions as an argument for sympathy -- not me.
