and the rats will beat a path to your door.. - the wise words of Cluth.
amen
Went to court this morning to ask for my license to be restricted rather than suspended, it was granted to me. I get to keep my career and drive my children to the emergency room. How very generous of them. When I left the clerk of courts office I had the great luck of catching my prosecutor in the hall. I approached him. "Excuse me sir" I said very nice and courteous like, cause I’m a fucking lady. "I’m sorry to bother you but I am kinda curious as to what the major factor was behind the new emotional knee jerk dui policies" He said, with all the straight facedness in the world, " A bunch of people have died over the last few years." I waited for more, but it never came.
Perhaps I was being unrealistic, or cold hearted, but youll find few people as touched as me every year when the grinch’s heart grows three times bigger. And I knew what the answer was, even if he had made more of an effort to answer intelligently but I wanted to burn in slow motion him telling me, maybe make him replay the words emtional knee jerk" a few times in his head, or just make him hear them, for my own satisfaction. I said, "Thank you for your time, have a nice day." and walked off. In my head I was thinking "wow, these assholes are ruining my country even more." And it all started with the drinking age change, which is one (if not the worst)of the stupidest laws we have in this country (agrees with smug). This kind of law isnt too far behind it on the stupidity scale.
I understand if I would have had a bottle in the car and I chugged it as the cops walked up I would have gotten off clean. But, for rediculous offences, all of which fall under dui (there is no consideration for the level of the offence commited...its all just dui. Running people off the road in a drucken stupor is the same in the eyes of this wise and just law as sitting behind the wheel to turn on the radio, even if it is impossible for your car to move), they will try to ruin your life and make it as hard as possible or even impossible for you to be a constructive member of your community, as they try to suck your account dry.
BUT PEOPLE DIE!!!!
and they diminish it imo, not me. I and the people around me are a lot less sympathetic to their cause when they tried to ruin my life essentially because I admitted I tried to assess the situation we were in and spun the tires of an immobile vehicle when I had the bac of .09. For the good of the community, I cant even drive myself to do my charity work. Between here and habitat for humanity projects and the YMCA there is great potential that I would leave a trail of dead and dying school children as I wrestled with my whiskey bottle with the lynard skynard cranked.
anyway, I went, its pretty much over. I was all yes sirs and no sirs, I was one of the few, if there even was anyone else, who dressed up out of respect for the court, as much as I could muster, and it was a feat of self control.
peace fuckers
ps, happy st paddy's, I'll be breaking my diet for the occasion (today and tomorrow) you guys have fun and be safe...and if the cops walk up on ya, dont tell em shit.
