Atta' Boy, little CS. Then let's save our tax dollars and eliminate the police officers that nab drunk drivers. The alky's will recognize their ''personal responsibility'' so there will never anymore be drunk drivers crashing thru red lights and splattering folks over the tarmac. [:@] When it's your daughter and grand child, then come explain that it's ok, it was just a lapse of that SOB's ''personal responsibility'', so all is forgiven. My blood pressure just went up at least 50 points.
So I guess you want the AMA police giving sobriety tests at the flying field...LOL...won't work and never will.
Hoss, what you don't know about my perception of "personal responsibility" would fill a book... if I could have my way about it, lack of concern for others would have much more severe consequences than they do now. When or if someone was found to be at fault for causing harm to another because of their lack of control due to alcohol or drug use, they might find themselves in the electric chair...I am a firm believer in strong deterrents up to and including removal from earth as the ultimate measure for lack of “real” personal responsibility. When we start frying those folks that have little regard for otherwise innocent people we will make greater steps in the right direction of "personal responsibility". I would have no problem frying someone for causing the death of one of my loved ones or yours for their inability to maintain control of their automobile or their model airplane due to being under the influence of a drug (that includes alcohol)…prescribed or not. We need genuine accountability…and the only way is to have the debt paid! And when it comes to genuine personal accountability, money is not a measure... if it were, you could just buy some/more insurance... wrong plan!
