Subject: Hey Joey
The problem, the media outlets always gets hung up on fatality counts and MADD loves every minute of it using these inflated statistics to pass ever more harsher and draconian punishments for those "drivers" (yes, only 2,440 in all of 2008) that consume alcohol.
It's time to get out of your bubble. MADD is not a victim advocate organization. They are lying. They are hiding behind their tear jerking stories. Basically, professional victims getting handouts from the government via grants to push their message of prohibition.
Some people see it. Some don't.
