Miss California - Beauty above all else

I do not claim any high moral ground. I try very hard not to make judgement and believe that everyone should be afforded a clear opportunity to make up for any mistake.

Donald Trump however seems to have provided another qualifying measure for redemption. Beauty - is now a qualifier for innocents. According to Donald, as long as you are beautiful, you are not obligated to follow rules and are not required to adhere to contracts or agreements. Equally as important, since I am not Beautiful, my views have no value and carries no weight what so ever.

Donald suggests that Carries statements about the existence of the photos are not lies. Carrie even suggested that she did not remember taking the "every" picture in her past. Donald then added that he had reviewed the pictures and had determined that the content was not inappropriate. While I may agree with him, these are not pictures I will be showing to my kids. And I also do not recall when Donald became the spokesman for moral content.

While Carrie was allowed to outline her defence. What she was unable to defend are the facts.
What are the facts?
Fact One: Carrie did knowingly and willingly enter into a (12 page) contract with the Miss California organization.
Fact Two: This contract did require full disclosure of the existence on any photographs or images containing nude / naked content.
Fact Three: These pictures do exist
Fact Four: Carrie inaccurately and with the intent to withhold information, denied any such pictures existed.
Fact Five: Once the 1st set of pictures were released, Carrie denied that any other pictures exist.
These are the facts.

There is a mitigating issue. We can all but agree, the only reason these pictures were released is based on Carries answer to Perez Hiltons question about same sex marriage.

These are all the issues. The line that I'm having difficulty drawing is; How does her looks alter these facts. According to Donald Trump, since I am not beautiful, I would be held accountable,.. provided anyone cared what a common looking person like me would have to say.

Ok one other fact; I have never watched a Miss USA, Miss America or any other pageant show before. So I will not make any impact if I tell you I will not watch it in the future. And I wont.

I will speak out against this pageants in strong terms. Donald Trump said that these pageants are relevant to today's society. I would argue they are not. They rise above the common rules that hold our society together. They do not reflect the common beliefs that America is based on. Honest, hard work can now be replaced with deception, vernacular double talk and empty promises,... as long as you are beautiful enough to be noticed
