One old Chinese woman... and Paris Hilton

Some time back the solitudinarian talked about the cruelty humans inflict on each other. Here is the flipside.

What is one man's cruelty is another man's necessity. Depending on where you stand, this may seem incredibly cruel, or incredibly heartbreaking. So which is it? Comment away.

Here's my opinion, for what it's worth. Whatever we make of this or any other case, we lead privileged lives (if you're reading this, then you're already better off than most people) and despite our bleeding hearts, we cannot grab the true magnitude of the lives of these people; regardless of whether they end up as the victim or the perp.

I think it's incredibly sad that more column space will be devoted to Paris Hilton's Hellenic obsession (come on guys, that woman has only ONE pose, for crying out loud). That woman probably doesn't know Greece is spelt differently from the musical.
