No I Don't

feel sorry for Mel Gibson. See, here's the thing, he was doing something illegal, driving drunk. And any of us who did that would show up in the police blotter, so why shouldn't he. Arrest records are public records, so his should be too. The fact that he made anti-semitic remarks is atrocious and I don't think he should hide behind the alcohol because as most of us know, alcochol has another name: truth serum. Mel is a fundamentalist, a Catholic one, but a fundamentalist none the less. Catholics persecuted the Jewish people as a part of the Spanish Inquisition and at other times in other places. Hey, I'm Catholic too, it's not a proud part of our past, but one we have to acknowledge to make sure we don't repeat it. Now, I'm not saying that Mel is a bigot because he is a fundamentalist, but fundamentalists tend to be able to get their message across because they live a life so dedicated to only one way of celebrating their faith (for another example, we can look to my buddy Tom Cruise). I don't feel like the media is picking on poor Mel Gibson at all. When you make a movie called "The Passion of the Christ" you are making a statement that you believe what Christ believed in. I'd like to remind Mr Gibson of one of Christ's most famous beliefs, "I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35
