Hi Jed, I'm glad you faired well. Count yourself as one of the lucky. I see no reason why the driver who hit you doesn't get the same justice as someone who for no reason sticks you with a knife. What, "I'm sorry I won't stab again, it was the drink". That woman had a deadly weapon in her hands & easily could have killed you. A few (3 or 4) yrs ago in my town we lost about 10 high school students to drunk driving, IN ONE YEAR. A doctor who worked the ER in the local hospital worked on so many kids that he campained for more alcohol education in the H.S. & stiffer DWI sentences, he got much of what he fought for. I think we've "only ?" lost 2 kids in the past few yrs. Any officer of the law or of the courts who goes light on a DWI offender should be removed from their office & be held responsible for any future deaths, damages or injuries caused be the offender. If it were their loved one that they lost they'd well know the pain of becoming twice a victim, once by their loss & again by knowing the victim's life meant little to anyone else other than those that knew them. Anyone including the above who drinks more than the law allows & then drives are no different in my eyes than a dangerous criminal. I'm 51 & have never driven drunk in my life & yes, I'm proud to be able to say that & no, I wouldn't hurt a life that belonged to another. Thank goodness you're alright Jed. Barry
