[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1307417, member: 16769"] Good question, Gimpy, and not afraid to discuss it. The root of the charge is drunk driving -- but it killed people. I'm in my senior years now, so I think I'm smarter than I was in my 20's and 30's, when -- if I questioned myself about "drive or not drive" after an evening out and feeling buzzed -- I figured if I even asked the question to self, then I must be OK to drive. Quasi-guardian angels must have saved me from citations or accidents! Now, I pay more attention to the consequences of my actions in every corner of life. A night out that includes a big meal -- nope, I don't drive if more than one glass of wine. Period. I just don't. Unless that commercial driver has a history of DUIs, he won't spend the rest of his life in jail, which won't appease the victims' families. He might get 10 years; that might go down to 5 years and probation time. There might be big civil suits, and some insurance company will pay for the "pound of flesh," but that won't bring those people back. [/QUOTE]
