I saw on the news this afternoon that former NBA player and announcer Charles Barkley was arrested. He was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona. Why do celebrities and athletes always get themselves into trouble? I really believe that there are two laws- one for the rich and one for everybody else. Getting a DUI or going to rehab is the new norm in this country. Some celebrities re launch their careers after a stint in rehab. Can you imagine one of us regular people telling our employer that we were going to rehab or had gone to rehab? They would say thanks but no thanks and show you the door. However, in Hollywood anything goes. It is sad but true. Hopefully, Charles Barkley will learn from this incident. Today is New Year’s Eve and so many people get drunk.Everyone needs to act responsibly when they drink alcohol. Alcohol related accidents and fatalities are so avoidable you just have to have a designated driver or take a taxi home. Never drink and drive.
