Labor Day is coming!  Drive Defensibly, Watch out for Drunk Drivers!

 

I have a plan for those convicted of drunk driving.  Here is the plan:

 

If convicted the person will immediately be sent to the Marine Boot Camp training center at Paris Island, SC and be assigned to a special company of hardened drill sergeants who will put them through a rigorous training course. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Drill_sergeant_screams.jpg

This course would be closely monitored by an expert medical team to ensure good care. Once they get thru the boot camp, they won't want to drink anymore!

Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island -
Initial training at Parris Island ranks among the hardest military ...

 

After training they will be sent to a war zone, either Iraq or Afghanistan, or some other overseas location that has our military involved.  They would perform some administrative function, load trucks, cook food, and keep records.  Anyone failing to correctly perform their duties would be sent back to Marine Boot Camp for retraining.

 

Note: For this program to be effective it must be swift, the punishment to be carried out immediately after the sentence is handed down by a judge.  Appeals would only be heard after boot camp!

 

Put that on the street, when people get the word that they are headed for boot camp and to the war zone immediately on conviction, perhaps the will quit drinking and driving. At least they will be safer there than driving in the states. We killed over 16,694 in 2004 by drunk drivers.  The Iraq war has killed over 2,639 to date.

  • During 2004, 16,694 people in the U.S. died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, representing 39% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA 2005).
     

    Pass it on. Give it to your State Representative; write to Congress and the Senate.  Let’s get the drunks off the street!

    God Bless you and yours.  Be safe this Labor Day!

    Good idea! And since they've been through boot camp, why not put them on the front line?

    I don't know what kind of plant it is. What is supposed to happen is that it is supposed to survive in the jar with out anything from the outside except for light. It's proving point #2 in the 4 criteria for life:

    1.All life forms contain deoxyribonucleic acid, which is called DNA.

    2.All life forms have a method by which they take energy from the surroundings and convert it into energy that helps them live.

    3.All life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to those changes.

    4.All life forms reproduce.
