WTF?? Drunk or not if you're a drunk and you cause an accident you should be held accountable. We're not retards we know when you drink you get drunk and you CANT drive and if you do then i hope the drunk dies in the wreck and not some innocent person. In MD if you got A DUI you had to have a breathalyzer instlled in your car for like 2 years to make sure you didnt do that again.
I hope they throw the book at you fi you're drunk and drive and hurt someone you are 150% responsible because you know you cant drive you shouldnt drive. You cant think you are just better then everyone and you can drive drunk. ANd then get the drunk help because if you have a problem that bad you need your butt locked up until you are off the sauce. But yea you cant sue GM cause you are a lush thats crazy talk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Braver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 8:18 PM Subject: Re: Gun Company Must Pay Teacher's Widow > Hey Jacob- > > I think the cases of guns and drunk drivers are different. > > In the case of using a gun, you are responsible for your actions (unless > you're really drunk). > > But with drunk driving, your judgement, your reflexes, etc. are seriously > impaired, often without you knowing it.
