Everybody does what? Drive drunk? Not me! I've seen too many folks hurt by
drunk drivers.

At least I have enough sense to pull off the road if someone calls me.

I don't pull over if somebody calls me. If I'm busy talking, other drivers
had better just stay outta my way or they might get hurt.

So let's see if we have this right - you're saying you
have a right to knowingly engage in an activity that
makes you an unsafe driver, and it's everyone ELSE'S
responsibility to allow for that?
Amazing.

I was discussing that with someone on another list recently. Everyone feels
"entitled"... they feel they deserve to break the laws because they had a
bad upbringing (daddy was drunk or they weren't potty trained properly).
It's never THEIR fault if something goes wrong, but *society's* fault.

Yup. Fortunately, such incredible depths of stupidity
are often self-correcting; unfortunately, these morons
have a tendency to take others out along with them.
