The Bad Behavior of the Entitled Elite Should Be No More

  Woods, Gibson, Edwards, Ensign, Craig, Lohan, Palin, and now Sheen. They are in a group like so many others. Addiction. Addiction comes in many forms: Drugs, Alcohol, Sex, or Money. The thing is, they just believe they are to clever and to powerful. They believe they can beat it or anyone. There are the Elitist. We live with them everyday no matter what your station in life is. Look around you. It is in the newspapers, on your TV, even on the web. We are talking about it now. There are many types of people out there that think they are better than everyone else. What causes this you ask? Addiction.
  I hate to say I told you so, but I said over a year ago that people should boycott "Two and a Half Men." The man is out of his mind and needed help. Chuck Lorre, I don't know what you were thinking or doing with aiding your number one star who you paid almost $2 million a week to. Really? Come on!
  This does not in anyway excuse Sheen from ranting during interviews calling out Lorre. Seriously? Come on Charlie, are we two? Look around you. Your cast mates are fed up, your hanging out with prostitutes, porn stars, and models with your ex-wife, and worst of all your not even given one thought about your kids. This is the public perception of you. Face reality.
  You said to Chuck Lorre, "you mistook this rock star for your own exit strategy." Let me tell you one thing. Men like Chuck Lorre may need to be more empathetic. However, he made you buddy and paid your bills. If it were not you, it would have been someone else. That is the way the world works. That is reality.
  We are giving these individuals a pass. Look at former Senator John Edwards. One minute he is in the running for President, the next is, he is not only lying about having an affair, but now he is under investigation by the Federal Grand Jury to see if he has broken any Campaign Finance Laws. On top of that we find out the truth...Not only has he had an affair, made a sex tape, lied to the American public, he has also fathered a child who he refused to claim. All the while his poor sick wife lay dying of cancer.
  Mel Gibson. He once said, "Hollywood is a factory. You have to realize that you are working in a factory and you're part of the mechanism. If you breakdown, you'll be replaced. Once one of our greatest leading men, now he to has fallen from greatness.
  2006 on a beach road in Malibu, California Mel Gibson went to far. His addiction finally got the better of him and the downward spiral began, he called life. Gibson was stopped and arrested for drunk driving. During this taped arrest he spewed the most implorable racist, and anti-Semitic rants. Of course, by the next day we all knew about it. Almost instantly it ended his career. But Gibson still felt his money, his time in the business should have meant something. He should be able to say whatever he wanted and didn't care who was listening. He could heal himself. At the church he built on his estate.  Now he too is facing even more trouble with the law, civil suits, and baby momma drama. Why? Addiction. Where are all the people who made millions on him?
  Then we have Lindsay Lohan. She made 1 good movie, "Mean Girls?" She is a idol for our kids? Really, she is a beautiful girl, who has great potential, but enough is enough already. I can't even keep track of all her antics and crimes. I too wonder, were people trying to make money off of her, or did they really even care about her well being.
  If I had Lindsay in a corner I would have to tell her, its time to start growing up. I digress. I would have to probably start telling that to all of the Elitist world. Palin gets to leave office before her term was up after promising a state she would do her job and stay the course. Greed got in her way.
  Greed is a funny thing. It is as addicting as any drug, sport, or hobby their is. Greed is the root cause of addiction. You always want what you cant have. You want it now. You will do anything to get it and more of it. Greed plus drive leads you down a path of success. Success leads to making money. The questions you have to ask yourself is, can you handle it?
  It is obvious that the stars and politicians mentioned above clearly can't. They desperately need help. They have just shown us they are like many other Americans. Addiction knows no color, boundaries, or lines. And we as Americans put up with it!
  If we act ignorant on our jobs we get warned or better yet fired. If we do drugs or cheat on our taxes we go to jail. We are the American public. We should start saying enough is enough. No more. When 217 member of Congress in 1999 "escaped tickets and or arrest from a variety of driving offenses ranging from speeding to DUI's due to Congressional immunity" (wiki.answers.com) it made me think. The bad behavior of the entitled elite should be no more. When are we going to look around us and say enough is enough?
  Living vicariously thru movie stars, TV stars, politicians, is over. Crazy has become so normal we forgot that we are messing with people's lives. Yes they may become willing participants, however if bad behavior is allowed to continue, and it will... it will escalate. It will escalate to the point that the individuals who really do have the talent, the ability, and lack the addiction will be left in the dark, while the Elite continue to rule and destroy. They will rule and destroy what we all have come to know and love...our culture...our America.
