Craig Crawford-CQ:
.....................
Assume a man has 10 martinis and gets into his car and attempts to drive home. His BAC is .24, three times the limit set by the Feds, and therefore all 50 states. On his way home, he proceeds through a stop sign, and hits a pedestrian with his car, killing the pedestrian. He is charged with vehicular manslaughter under a special statute dealing with drunk drivers and the resulting death of a fellow citizen.His
defense is as follows:
1. The pedestrian was wearing dark clothing and it was a moonless night.
2. The pedestrian was also drunk.
3. The stop sign was not properly installed and there should have been no stop sign at that particular corner pursuant to the municipality's own traffic regulations.
4. The defendant had been traveling at a 'safe' speed within the speed limit posted at the scene.
5. Another car had proceeded through the intersection without stopping just minutes before the accident.
6. Over thirty thousand other drivers had been cited for drunk driving with the state over the previous year.
7. The defendant is a model citizen, works fifty hours a week, has a clean criminal record, and regular contributes to local charities with money and by donating his time.
8. The defendant is a model parent of three children ages 5 to ten years and is an active leader in the local PTA.
9. The pedestrian was not only a drunk, but a worthless man on welfare and someone who had never contributed anything to society.
You can add other elements, points to this list. But bad things happen to good people and even worse things happen to people who drink ten martinis and attempt to drive home.
In the end, I conclude as follows:
THE GUY WAS DEAD DRUNK AND KILLED A PEDESTRIAN.
..............
GEORGE W. BUSH CAME INTO OFFICE IN JANUARY OF 2001,
DRUNK WITH POWER AND WITH ONE GOAL IN MIND,
INVADE IRAQ.
GEORGE W. BUSH LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WHEN HE MADE UP EXCUSES FOR INVADING IRAQ,
WHEN HE WAS GOING TO INVADE IRAQ ANYWAY.
Everything, and I mean everything else about Iraq is irrelevant.
