A former colleague was killed by a drunk driver.
Sweet, amiable guy, good programmer, we all loved him. Struck by a drunk driver while crossing the street and was dragged two blocks. He was only 26.

There isn't language strong enough to condemn those drunken assholes.

3. Alcohol-The last legal drug
It's a shame that you can legally intoxicate yourself with liters of alcohol in this country, but you can't even sell items related to marijuana (Tommy Chong:(). The moral compass is all over the place.

4. This is the very reason why...

the govt. needs to get tougher on drunken drivers. They put everyone's life at risk when they're behind the wheel.

I'm sorry to hear that about your former colleague. My prayers to you and your colleague's family.
