That was powerful. I usually roll my eyes at some of the social movements (remember Kony?), but this is really good.

I hope it catches on. I hope some positive comes of it.

Reminds me of the "don't text and drive" videos that were on here a while back. Both very well done.

Nice to see people owning up to their mistakes and trying to learn and teach from it.

It would have a lot better story if it wasn't an anti drinking story.

Good on him for owning, but alcohol is not an excuse.

It is only an excuse to rape.

.

I don't think he is offering an excuse. He is offering his reason. They are two different things in my mind.
An excuse has a connotation of relief from responsibility. A reason is more a description of what transpired.

This might be the first troutman music quote where I actually know the song!

So THIS is what it feels like!
