It’s 3:20 a.m. I’m still up trying to figure out what reader Mike Kirwan was trying to say about Paris Hilton or why his letter was even printed (“Socialite should be shipped off,” May 11). What does South Africa and apartheid have to do with Americans and Paris Hilton? I’m getting darn sick and tired of hearing people suggest “deporting” Americans from their own country!
With the serious issues we face in this state — in this country — it’s amazing to me that all anyone can get riled up about is a harmless young heiress that committed a misdemeanor!
