Too many times a drunk or speeder kills someone because they chose to get behind a wheel after drinking, or decided it's "cool" to street race. Too many times they serve a couple of years in jail, and/or pay a fine, then they get out, because some crafty lawyer says they were drunk, and therefore were not in a "right state of mind", or they are sorry for speeding, and won't do it again.

I lost my best friend due to a drunk driver. He served 4 years in the Navy, returned home; two days later a drunk driver lost control, crossed a center median, hit my friend head on and killed him. The drunk survived; served an 18 month jail sentence, and is now a free man. My friends family is devistated; that was 24 years ago, but his parents never got over it. My son's girlfriend of 3 years was killed by a speeder; he was racing another car on a highway, and the two cars were cutting in and out of traffic. One lost control, hit the car my sons girlfriend was driving; she flipped 4 times, crushing the roof and breaking her neck. He got charged with wreckless driving and vehicular manslaughter. His liciense was revolked. He was only 17, so he served no time. He is now driving again on a special "work" only driving privilage". His parents are trying to clear his record. I'd like to see him hang by his 'nads" quite frankly. 16 year old girl dead; her parents will also never recover. But he will "prolly never do it again". Gee, I feel better about that.

So yes, I'll judge if people do stupid things that are illegal, especially if it effects the safety and lives of others, in particular my friends and family. It's my right to do so. You better hope the law protects you if you do something that is stupid and illegal by keeping you in jail until I'm dead if you hurt one one of my family members. I will not be as forgiving as the law may be to you.

And you are right in saying "he prolly won't do it again" because I'll be waiting for him/her when they step past the jail gates onto the street.

Back to the original thread and a question that was asked....to remove those pesky emblems stuck on with two sides adhesive, use dental floss. Wrap it around a finger of your left and right hand, and pull back and forth, keeping the floss (string) against the emblem. Cuts through that two sided tabe like butter. Then use some "Goo-Gone" to remove any left over sticky adhesive from the body.
