I was not planning on making any comments to those who responded negatively
to my initial post, but after reading this one I feel that a response is
necessary...
First of all, you can be too drunk to drive and still make the conscious
decision not to drive...
Secondly, I don't see any negative comments about other people who tell
their stories of street racing... I do not justify street racing, but it
is better to be on a highway than in a neighborhood, but then again neither
is safe...
I apologize to those DML members that have had to deal with all these posts
regarding that evening. From now on, I will not make mention of any more
activities with fellow DMLers, as it never fails that things seem to get
blown way out of proportion...
I too have lost friends from drinking and driving, and from street racing...
but, I've also lost friends who have gotten killed just walking out their
front door...
I assume all the responsibility for all of my actions, and in doing so I
knowingly accept those consequences contained within that responsibility...
I've already spent too much time regarding this subject... Let's get on to
some real DML subjects again.
Thanks,
Tom "Slick"

First of all I am 18 and took a sip of my dads beer at like 13, never since
have I touched the stuff, just my personal taste. For all you who say, oh I
would never drink enough and/to drive recklessly just remember that if you
are so hammered you can't drive a car then what makes you think you could
make the concious decision not to drive.
Point two, late night freeway racing is very dangerous because while you may
be sober or under control you have no idea what condition driver in the
other
car is in, and if he were to get in an accident you would be just as at
fault.
Finally I know it is rude to have the last word, but this has gone on quite
a
while and does not include much dak content
P.S. Please to not call eachother names, everyone is aloud to have their own
opinion and voice it without being attacked.
