You all can be upset with me if you want to, but I think that using the tactic that they did will hopefully make people think twice. People encounter someone with paralysis at some point in their lives whether meeting them or just crossing paths in a store but most of the time, they don't know what caused the paralysis. When I meet people, they just assume it was a car accident because those people hear so much about car accidents causing it.
I think using the tactic that MADD did, can help these same people realize that it could of been a cause of someone causing an accident because someone had too much to drink and got behind the wheel. And yes, a person has a lot to lose if they become paralyzed at the cost of it. Sometimes it takes such a harsh comercial to do it and if it works and people think twice before drinking and driving, therefore, causing less injuries, I support it.
