Lolita or Latourneau?

In steps Judge Rick Pfeiffer. "Guilty! Fuck you and your mother. Fuck your rights. Fuck you, by the way. You pled guilty, so we as an esteemed institution are going to take your money. After all you offered it, right? Guilty?" In steps Mary. Mary is a teacher, and after a frigid marriage falls for her 13 year old student. After everything is said and done, including 7 years of JAIL TIME for her, he confesses he was the culprit. A 13 year old kid decided to seduce his teacher, succeeded, and then in a flurry of overblown excitement "society" convicted her of felony statutory rape. She didn't know sex with a 13 year old was against the law, even if it was consentual. Professional issues aside, where she absolutely failed, was it wrong to fall in love with her 13 year old student? Was it wrong for Humbert Humbert to fall for Delores Hayes, light of his life, fire of his loins? Lolita in my eyes is one of the best movies ever made. Adrian Lyne certainly outdid himself with this movie, and it will remain my favorite forever. (The original was not quite as good) Upon my first viewing I felt all the things Humbert would feel as a conscientious, intelligent man. But then after viewing it again and again, I simply forgot their age difference and enjoyed the film for the beauty of their relationship. It became a love story, and I could not care less that Lolita was 12 and Humbert was 40 something. They loved each other in a tragic way, the best way. She died in childbirth, he shortly thereafter of cardio thrombosis in prison. They could not live without one another. Bravo Nabakov! Mary K. Laturno and her husband are examples of the same, living in the reality of the prude and conservative right. It was our laws and our flawed legislative process that sent her to prison for 7 years, only to become the wife of her lover in spite of the judgment of our society. Stranger things have happened. She may not be a role model, but Humbert avoided prison. Drug dealers should go to prison, but not for life. Kenneth Lay should go to prison for life. So should O.J. The guy that blew up the Oklahoma City federal building is dead. Damn, better hope for the best in this judicial system. Hold onto your balls and hope. That will do no good, because you can't fight the process, the system, the team. District Attorneys, judges, lawyers. They are all a fraternity just like the medical profession. Whoa to the common man that steps in with little money and thinks he can find justice. I had no criminal record, yet for my first offense of littering was penalized the maximum amount by Judge Rick Pfeiffer of Columbus, Ohio. Dumping a couch? Is that such a crime? OSU students do it all the time, but they don't get the maximum fine of $500.00. I did what my lawyer suggested. Clean up the mess. Take it to the dump. Pay for it and get a receipt. Show up early in court with a spiffy suit and tie. He made an example of me in front of the whole bunch. "Little rich boy wants to get off." Bam! Guilty. He never gave me an opportunity to speak. He cut me off, he towered over me like a super hero. He swayed and rambled and finally slammed that gavel down to the laughter of the rest of the court room. It was comedy. It was the Pfeiffer Pfollies! I lost. The legal system is not out for you. It is out for itself. Those that make those laws are our elected officials. Their political ideologies and agendas are apparent in those laws. We have to live by those laws, and many of them are fucked. More reason to rebel without a cause. Be extreme. Mountain Dew has been telling us that for years.
