Taking drinking seriously

I think this county's population has a real problem with rationalizing stuff and coming up with excuses instead of realizing the problems we have. I mean, why else would we continue to allow people to use judgment-impairing drugs and drive their cars on the road and then when they kill somebody, they just get a slap on the wrist? Yeah I mean alcohol. I go out to restaurants and see couples, often with children, BOTH drinking alcoholic drinks and then all getting into the same car and driving home. How ignorant do you have to be to not have seen that even a single drink impairs judgment and reaction times by a measurable amount? I hear people laughing and joking about how hard it was to drive home and that they were lucky that they didn't get a ticket. It never crosses their minds that they're lucky they didn't kill themselves or somebody else.

Who's using all the drugs?

I saw today on the news where some semi submersible boat carrying around 5 TONS of cocaine was seized. Now that's a lot of dope! We hear all the time that drug trafficking prevention costs us X number of dollars each year. My question is, why are there so many ignorant, stupid, insane people that use this crap anyway? Are we a country of losers that just don't give a darn any more?
