Isn't It Time For Tougher Drunk Driving Laws?

Wednesday, May 30, 2007
It seems like everytime I check the news for drunk driving incidents, some famous face or person of high authority is being splattered across the front pages.

Today I turn on the TV and this time it's Lindsay Lohan being scrutinized about her DUI arrest. The news broadcasters were going back and forth wondering why she didn't do this or why she isn't getting help. The only question that comes to my mind is, What good is going to come from talking about Lindsay Lohan and her DUI arrest for thirty minutes? Are kids going to learn from her example? Obviously Lindsay didn't learn from Paris Hilton or any of the other celebrities who have been picked up on drunk driving lately.

In the sports category, we have the owner of the Lakers, Jerry Buss, who was arrested this past weekend near San Diego. This is the statement that Buss gave:

"Although I was driving only a short distance, it was a bad decision and I was wrong to do it. It was a mistake I will not make again."

Isn't that what they all say?

All I can say is that we really need tougher drunk driving laws. It's obvious that people aren't learning from other people's mistakes, so something else needs to be done.
