I still think the proposal is all talk, but not forward thinking approach to solving the problem. I would honestly rather see the problem solved then to salivate at how much we can punish the future guilty DDers.

I think they need to find a way to give these drunk drivers a punishment that affects them for the rest of their life. We hear about the numbers of people killed by drunk drivers because that's the marquee number. While I count my blessings every day that I wasn't killed that day, it really pisses me off that Manuel Raul Amavisca walked away that day with no injuries but me and the other people he took out that day will be dealing with the affects of his "mistake" for the rest of our lives. Considering what could've happened we all got off pretty easy injury-wise, it could've been way worse, but I know that I'm still dealing with my injuries from an accident in 1994 yet he's probably fine.
