in my parish a few years back the son of the district attorney killed his friend in a drunk boating accident

he spent not one hour in jail or prison despite public outcry

when you or i have an accident, it is a criminal offense, however, when the rich or powerful have accidents, it is accepted that accidents do happen

the witch-hunting of people for being in accidents only hurts the poor and the middle class, the rich are never touched by it, so when we scream for more and more penalties for people involved in accidents, we only hurt ourselves

we all know that cheney and whittington were drunk when this happened, people do drink during outdoor recreation, always have, always will, since no one was killed and whittington is going to be okay, to them this is just going to be another wild story for their scrapbooks
