To those of you who don't know Doug, I can assure you he is certainly not a bad guy and I don't think he expected the response to this thread. He is a kind, humane, person and I think his only vice is being Republican. Yeah, it was probably an ill-advised choice, but I DO believe he was looking for some humorous responses in the "Paw and Cletus" vein, but this subject is so near and dear to so many that its tough to see any humor in it at times.

I am guilty of drinking and driving in younger days and why I didn't kill someone else or myself is anybody's guess. I've been on the other end of the scenario and the tragedy of losing someone throuh stupidity is too hard and a wate beyond all else.

Sorry Doug.....I know you didn't mean to come off the way you did. I have always respected you and your opinions even when we have disagreed because I know they come from honest thought and beliefs...........except the Republican stuff. I think there are shots for that. Check with your doctor.
