Winona Ryder, Robert Downey? Come on. These people are doing their job. They were doing their jobs before they got arrested, why should they stop once they get out. If I was waiting to go to trail I'd probally continue to work, if I just got out of rehab I'd get a job to keep myself busy. R kelly doesn't have a best selling album because raped a girl. He has a best selling album because people like his music(I dont know who, but someone)
I dont think these are "REWARDS" for bad behavior. If My friend got out of Rehab I wouldn't dis-own him. I'd help him out as much as I could. If I had a friend that shoplifted I wouldn't hate them and it wouldn't bother me that they kept working while they were on trial.
G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North can both be compared to Ex-hackers turned Security Consultants. Its what they know, they just use their knowledge in different ways than before.
I have to disagree with most of the points made in O'Reilly's article. I will give him Monica and Paula because I wouldn't touch either of these two with a 39 and a half inch pole. Just my Opinion
Hope this makes sense :/
