Big man on campus says 'No'...

Michael Douglas denied a request to sign a petition to support Roman Polanski, who is under house arrest in connection to a 33-year-old sex scandal. He is being accused of sexually abusing a 16 year old, and previously pleaded guilty in 1978 for having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13 year old girl. After that plea, he fled and has been a fugitive ever since. If he had not been a renown director, man in Hollywood, man with outreaching arms of support, he would have been illustratively hung for the accusations. I am happy to hear Michael Douglas saying 'no'. He also said it would be "unfair" to sign a petition for "somebody who did break the law." Sounds like a "good" man to me. Michael Douglas is a man with his head on his shoulders, aware of justice, without partiality. Good going M. Douglas, good going.
