Bars v. Shame
First, Happy New Year.
I decided to hold off on blogging till 2006 because I thought it would be a cheesy new start. That and well I was flying back and forth between San Antonio and El Paso, and I caught a nasty stomach virus the day after my birthday that left me out of commision for a day and apathetic for two more.
New year, new start. Still hating the layout.
So, what's the best way to deal with drunk drivers? Put them behind bars or shame them? In Tennessee they prefer a form of community service that puts them in the limelight. Embarrassment 101 is the name of the class, and the offenders have to pick up junk along the highway wearing vests that say "I am a Drunk Driver." There is no better cure for a reckless malady than the art of humiliation. I think it's brilliant. Why the govenor disagrees, well maybe he doesn't want to get caught wearing the vest. Save any lives recently?
