Just because someone was convicted of drunk driving for the first time, doesn't mean it was their first time driving drunk. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show first-time offenders have, on average, driven drunk about 80 times before getting caught. Show Less

Everyone knows you should not drink and drive.

I agree however, one beer shouldn't get you a DWI or DUI either.

It is not the first time they drove drunk and can change behaviour. It's just first time they were caught.

An offender's first time getting caught drunk driving shouldn't force them to get an ignition interlock device.

I believe that people caught driving while high on Fentanyl, Heroin, Meth, or anything similar should be treated the same way as alcohol intoxication, but they are not.

I see people smoking joints driving beside my. That makes me feel real good also. They need to be arrested.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.
