(MADD, for instance?) And massive fines, of course. As for running over people while drunk, the charge is... manslaughter, yes? Personally, I'd prefer a murder charge to manslaughter, but can only state a preference, given my immense lack of knowledge about our criminal justice system. (that is, I have no idea how ridiculous, or not, changing "manslaughter" to "murder" would be)<br /><br />I keep wanting to call myself Liberal, but agree with Conservatives too often. But when I do, I do it quietly. I don't take bait for political rants, which usually makes people think that my stubborn silence means that I don't agree. Not necessarily; I just don't wanna talkaboudit!herdThinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243614435958257781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-9674406583486655992009-11-05T18:37:04.533-06:002009-11-05T18:37:04.533-06:00I don't know...I do know that the whole Jemmy ...I don't know...I do know that the whole Jemmy thing has me going "OH COME ON!"

I wonder if his Mommy is going to scream and rant that her son never does drugs and wouldn't even know what to do with cocaine if you gave it to him?<br /><br />Oh Messy, you cynic, you!Aunt Messyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424781871244170075noreply@blogger.com
