I think drunk drivers should be dealt with as severely as possible.
I agree completely.

Two of the editors at DMOZ were killed by a drunk drivers in 2000 and 2001.

Jessie was 20 years old, riding her bike.

Ted was killed when his car was hit by a drunk driver during a police chase.

Both drunk drivers had previous drunk driving records.

This pissed me off the most:

On Nov. 3, 2000, Norbert logged another drunken-driving arrest while driving a rented Daewoo Leganza. He failed to make a court appearance, and a $30,000 warrant was issued for his arrest. He also failed to show up in court for the Jan. 31, 1999, incident. A no-bail warrant was issued, and his probation was revoked.

After one of his arrests, Norbert was angry but resigned. Spewing profanity at CHP officers, he said: "You got me."
You got me? @#$%&@*# ......after over 3 arrests and all he can say is 'You got me.'???

Swine...pure swine.

Where I live, during the holiday season, the city gets together a volunteer effort to offer free transportation to anyone who needs it....all you have to do is call the number.

I will be volunteering my driving one night during the holidays. It's so easy to be able to give to the community this way.
