groovin'

on a Sunday afternoon....

I love to drive on the backroads... many people do....but now we gotta be extra vigilent due to the drunks on the road...

and I'm constantly amazed at all the boozehounds who try to excuse drinking and driving..they claim it's a right, Prohibition didn't work so people should just go on drinking and driving...the old adage that ignorance is bliss doesn't ring true anymore...ignorance is deadly..

and now there's news of yet another "alleged" drunk driver who killed a lady up by the Chumash casino..up by the Chumash Highway of Death, rammed right into her while the lady was stopped at a red light...the lady, Linda Wall was a retired teacher and the drunk is Rebecca Sandoval, a 37 year old who used to work for the casino, that's the rumor anyway...geez pretty soon the casino patrons will have to step over bodies to get to the slot machines!

the news has press releases by the casino about all the wonderful things the Indians do..they give back so much to our communities, the non-profits, they do it "for the kids" and more such bullshit....but there's plenty of crime up there...drugs, drunks, prostitution, robbery, stabbings and stuff you don't hear too much about...it's a little subculture of vice and sin..that's right SIN!! repent ye sinners!!

while it's true there are people who will do anything for a drug fix, whether it's heroin or booze, I think most people are pretty sick of all this..well....lack of respect for life...they drink they smoke they drive and eventually they'll kill....

some where along the line they never got the message that if you keep ingesting crap like liquor someone will have to pay, so they keep doing it long past the time they should have stopped..and it spills out to the public arena and the taxpayers foot the bill..we gotta clean up after these people, we pay for the trials, the hearings, the incarcerations...all because they can't control themselves..

so do they want me as their babysitter?? ok, I'll be their babysitter..but I guarantee it will be a bad...a very bad relationship....
