I think that it is a great and wonderful thing that mothers who do not want to put up with drunk drivers out there, who are not being responsible. I do commend them very much because these mothers are making a difference every day with everything that they do. I do agree that the drunk drivers need to be held responsible for the actions that they make. There are many people young and old that drink on a daily basis. Some do not know that just drinking can take someone's lives at any moment. It is our job and the job of mothers like in MADD to let them know the consequences that can happen.

Sometimes I do ask myself why people drink and drive. I personally do not drink and I think that if i were too then I would make sure that I had someone to drive me, or i would drink responsibly. There are so many commercials and campaigns out there that tell everyone not to drink and drive, but most still do it. It is not until someone gets into a car accident or someone gets hurt that a person starts drinking responsibly.In response to erika's comment, I think that we would like to say that they have mental issues, but it may not be that simple. I think that a lot of people only think of themselves first and how they want to feel.

Punishment I believe should definitely be an solution to people who drink and drive. I think that if you danger someone else's life thats not your own, then you should take responsibility. I am glad that the mothers started this group, but am saddened that they had to start this group because of the horrible incident that happened to the leaders.

I definitely support MADD as well because I have been researching everything that they have been doing and everything that they have been doing has been positive to not only themselves, but others. They have motivation and are only there to protect us.
