> Until I was about 15, I thought drunks were just silly and obnoxious, but then I saw one attack a perfect stranger with his car. He also fought two policemen, but it was a very short fight. When I was in college back in the 50's, I worked for a newspaper as a reporter, and I saw a lot of crime, most of it involving alcohol. It included drunk driving, murder, bootlegging, and assault. Fortunately, I usually arrived after the police and they had the situation under control, but blood and bodies were sometimes still there. So were the bottles and cans. Why would anybody willingly use something that had even a remote chance of causing them to act like that? > Howard
You're exactly right. We should all turn in our cars immediately. If none of us drove cars, just think how many lives we could save every year.
You've got to stop blaming alcohol or [insert item du jour here] for people's actions. Blame the person. Hold them accountable for their own actions.
