I agree with you davei,and Politicians are at the top of the list of the worst offenders for anything like this however we cant excuse the wrong actions of everyone else because of them can we.I mean you cant say the politicians are all corrupt bastards so its ok for Lg 2 footballers to drink drive.davei wrote:Arnu, I wholeheartedly agree with you on the drinking and driving issue. However, while he was caught, charged found guilt and sentenced, our politicians (who supposedly are there to represent us) do far worse, actually DO get people killed and we make less of a fuss about it.
And yes, I have been touched by a drunk driver issue, which is why I have supported MADD since it's inception (Mrs Lightner) and have spoken to many classes of schoolkids (actually, so I am told by the RCMP, when I started many years ago, the very first of such on Vancouver Island) on the perils of drinking and driving.
If anyone's kid cannot see the difference between this guy and a real role model, not much anyone can do about it. Something about throwing the first brick comes to mind.
Be interesting to do a poll on this (not sure if theres a facility on here for one).
