DRINKING AND DRIVING WHY?????????????????????????????????????????????????

I understand that everyone makes mistakes we all do. But what I don't understand is how when someone DECIDES to drink and drive and kills or hurts someone this is not a mistake it is a decision. A decision that affects not only the person that made the decision but everyone around them too. It doesn't just happen. The key gets put in the ignition, the car shifts into drive and you pull out onto the road. These are steps in the decision making process and clearly at that moment most people think oh well I will make it home and no one will ever no. 9 times out of 10 they don't make it home. For the lucky one percent they are caught and pulled over before its too late. This makes me very sad. I have lost far to many people from this decision and my heart has bled for the ones I didn't no that we read about every day. When are people going to learn that this decision destroys lives and kills. I feel very strongly about what I am saying here and I know that in the past perhaps I have offended people with my straight to the point comments. The intention was to help people start taking a stand in the eyes of the community, our people and the law. My recent comments on facebook about a young man 22 that decided to drink and drive and got into an accident and his cousin didn't make it have offended people and for that I am truly sorry that was not my intention however I find it really hard to get over the fact that he was released on a 2000 bail after killing someone. Is this right? The correct charge is vehicular manslaughter. I have never heard of someone shooting or killing anyone anyway getting out on this kind of bail. This infuriates me. The Quinte Region has had a lot of sadness bestowed upon them and in the 2 years I lived there I have never heard so much tragedy.
I have watched way to many people crying and making funeral arrangements for someone that was in the wrong place at the wrong time and far to young to die. There are thousands of children out there missing a parent or sibling because of Drinking and Driving. When is this going to stop?

DRINKING AND DRIVING IS A DECISION, YOUR DECISION, MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND CALL A FRIEND OR CAB OR WALK. NO MATTER WHAT
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!!

To end I would just like to say that again if my comments offend you I apologise. If we would all just stand together and fight for what is right then perhaps we wont have to hear these horrible stories as much.
