Exactly. I don't feel bad for any individual who drinks, drives, and dies. I feel bad for their families, having to deal with the tragedy brought on by sheer stupidity. Seriously, people. It's not hard. We're taught not to behave so stupidly since childhood. (I remember many horrifying PSAs from local TV.)

I'm not saying that you *did* think I was saying that at all.  |
Oh, no, not at all. I was just trying to carefully choose my words so I wouldn't inadvertently offend you or make you feel bad about having to deal with such a thing.
