Unbreakable Martha Stewart

Reports that Martha Stewart is making her own food in prison illustrate the heroic actions of an unbreakable person. Prison will not get her down. Prison cannot tear her apart from her core value to make life more pleasant, no matter what the circumstances. This attitude is profoundly inspiring, completely American and eminently healthy. Those who wanted to see Martha Stewart go to jail not over alleged violations of the law so much as to "cut her down a notch" will take no comfort in these reports. A woman who can find ways to brighten up even a prison term deserves not mockery or sneers, but the highest form of admiration one can muster.

In a world where so many demand something for nothing, it's beyond refreshing to see Martha Stewart make something out of nothing.
