You know, I think there are two kinds of people: bad people who do some good things, and good people who do some bad things. Most of us are the latter, including Mr. Wuddle.
But regardless of the history of a person's actions be they good or bad, nothing can excuse them from committing such an intolerable sin as taking someone else's life simply due to bad judgment. Drinking and driving is against the law, bottom line. The problem there is, the law doesn't give a sh!t when it comes to punishing those who break it.
There is far, FAR too much tolerance for those who drive while impaired. My suggestion is, for those simply caught without incident, their license is suspended for five years. No ifs, ands or buts. See how many people drive while intoxicated then.
If you take a life when you drink and drive, you sacrifice your own. Into the slammer for the rest of yours. Enough pussyfooting.
