my house is at the end of a fairly busy street that dead ends in our front yard and then takes up again a few houses down.
i was trying to set up some email stuff for a client tonight around 10:30 when i heard some police sirens.
i stood up and looked out my window to see a pair of headlights quickly coming towards my house with the police behind them.
Many people drink because they cannot handle a given situation in thier life. So, my guess is that someone in your husbands killers shoes probly drinks more now than before, unless he honestly wanted to change things in his own life.
I have lost many brothers due to drunk driving, mostly on thier part... motorcycles are said to be unsafe, but if you removed booze and speed, they would be as safe as any car.

i have several friends that are veterans and they have to work on monday!!
yet teachers (and we know how useless they are) and students get the day off.i have an idea!!
why don't they just let the veterans off, would that be asking too much??
Defending the Vets by badmouthing the country they defended... and slamming those few that respond with an opinion on here? Interesting defense.

"Coronerberst - where did you get all your information from?"
Does it really matter if the info is even true? Those that focus on the negative only believe the negative. Generations of negativity against our country has generated a minority of people that dislike living in the USA, yet wont leave for the greener grass.

There are lots of reasons that some people shouldnt drive. The BAC count is the only way the legal system can document a drivers "level" of inability, in thier opinion.
Too much coffee, anger, in a rush, poor eyesight or hearing... they all contribute to accidents also. None of these can be documented tho, like BAC.
I have told politicians that if they want Prohibition, to just do it. Make it illegal to drink any booze, and that will solve the problem. They laugh and say that it would be political suicide. There is way too much money involved in both the sale of alchohol, and the treatment of abusers. The sad part of it all is that the responsible users are caught up in it.
Personally, I wont have even one beer whan I am on the bike or in my truck. That is my choice tho, since the law is so perverted and I dont wanna go back to jail. DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional yet the emotional ones let them happen. I propose checkpoints in the morning, on the way to work, where you will find a load of DUI's from the night before. Again, I was told that this would not be accepted by the public.
Until a real solution is found, no law will fix the problem. Look at the war on drugs? Another failure.

When asked if I like or dislike this country, I bring up about how many people attempt to get into this country each year, legally or otherwise. Many lose thier lives trying. Most of the folks living here that dont like it have little more to do than complain about things rather than attempting to change things.
Back to giving all the vets a day off, as opposed to everyone, that would never fly either. Most vets of a war are older than me, and in positions of authority. Many are disabled and not working. Those that are no longer with us but left family behind, what about them? See, it gets deeper than any simple solution will solve.
I think that what most war vets want, and would love, is national recognition of the job done by them and thier peers. I dont mean a day off, or a shopping day. I mean where people actually stop and think, and remember, that what we have today was gotten and maintained with the blood of others. Liberty is nothing to take lightly, and we (in the USA) have the most liberty in the world. With this liberty, we can maintain our freedom responsibly.

As a veteren, I prefer to work and make money rather than take off. A paid holiday just causes higher prices for goods or services, someone has to make up the losses.
We have generations of people that demand something for nothing, like days off work with pay. I am a firm believer in getting paid for what I work, or paying people only for what they work.
Teachers, and thier union, are a major part of the problems in this country. That problem could be solved if more people showed up at school district meetings, demanding change, rather than letting it slide.
