A Drinkin' and a Drivin'

Fuck it.

That's my position on it.

Sounds like a Darwin award nominee...the school, that is. It's called conditioning. You do something so stupid and hurtful, but when you return to normal society, you are given a happy ceremony which valididates your actions. How many times do you think he's driven drunk since that accident?

Can an entire society receive a Darwin award?

And, Matt, I agree wholeheartedly. But it sounds like you're trying to convince. Are you reaching out to someone who doesn't believe it to be terrible?

I think he's more appauled than anything.

As he should be.

I probably would've done the same thing with that guy, realistically. But if something happened, it'd be a horrible thing to have to live with.

That's what I hate about irresponsible drunks, is they put an unavoidable burden of responsibility on any sober person around.

No, I'm not trying to convince anybody, these are just two events that I've had in my life recently, and they've been on my mind.

It's insane what transgressions people can forgive/warp in their minds...

I don't necessarily believe that someone like that should be made a martyr, but to make some kind of hero out of him is ridiculous.
