MADD is BS

[Potential]

I saw the site www.madd.org/home/

and I read the options on "What do you think should be the primary mission of MADD?"
and honestly I think it's BS. What needs to be done is total banning or makeing all forms of alcohol illegal, except for medicinal purposes. Why beat around the bush? People cannot control themselves, and as long as forms of alcohol exist people will try to escape reality. This mistaken reality is what causes accidents. Should this place really be called Mother's Against Drunk Driving? Why not Mother's Against Alcohol? Or Citizens Against Alcohol? Being Madd doesn't change the future, only intelligence does that.

I've heard of people that have lost loved ones to Drunk Drivers, they try to cope and often turn to alcohol(or beer) to release their emotions. Alcohol does no such thing, it causes more problems to arise. And What really gets me is that their loved one was killed by a drunk driver, so they get drunk and go kill somebody else's loved one. It's an ignorant cycle, that must be stopped.

They say, "Think when you drink", which is total BS. You can't speak logic or commonsense to a drunk, Alcohol affects their judgement centers, they have their own deluded form of logic.

I DON'T BLAME THE DRUNK DRIVERS, FOR THEIR DRUNK DRIVING. I BLAME THE BEER COMPANIES AND THE ALCOHOL COMPANIES FOR DISTRUBUTING IT. You can screw a peson convicted of drinking and driving out of all their money and make them feel like shit. But that is an isolated case and does nothing for the rest of the world.

Instead of attacking Drunk Drivers, cause they will always be there as long as alcohol exists, why not work to remove this poison from existence. Now I've been told, "Prohibition doesn't work", but that was 1920-1930's, back when cell phones and surveillance cameras did not exist. And facts where covered up by big beer companies, I trust none of the information given from back then. I think a second experiment is needed in order to retest the chances of Prohibition improving morality issues.

Any information regarding the total banning of alcohol, would be helpful, and would have an impact on my mind of whether or not I should contribute to your cause.

um, I just want to say that most americans lol sit and get drunk and than drive..and pretty much thats all they do is drink in their sparetime..its sickening..I drank for a long time like that, and I can't do it anymore because its just stupid,I don't think drinking should be legal at all, because more people die from it than weed..and to me its just dumb..I can't stand people in the way they operate..the entire country is full of drunks..and they get in there cars wasted and than drive off and next minute they kill themselves or someone else..and where I live there is a bar on every corner, and ya know these people could walk to these bars, but no they drive, I used to liven on a corner in town and once a few drunks crashed right in front of our house into a tree...yep and if the tree wasn't there, they would have ended up in someones house!
so stupid, I hate people like that..and thats all that surrounds me pretty much..so to me drinking should be eliminated as well as bars..because bars are what really needs to go...
I used to drink at home, and I would walk to the store and walk somewhere if I had to go somewhere while drunk ya know..but there are too many idiots out there for alcohol to be legal..

Potential,
me personally I only can agree to what you say ..
and the same to cigarettes please..

your last sentence I can not understand or translate.. ? lgn

Well I totally disagree, even though I don't drink or smoke and I drive as little as possible. LOL! To have the government to make drinking and smoking illegal is only going to do one thing and that is to have even more control over what people can and can't do, which is furthering the cause of communism. Besides that it would not keep people from drinking if they really wanted too. There would be bootlegging crop up out the kazoo. Making pot illegal has not decreased the smoking and selling of Pot has it? No! In my opinion it made it worse. I'm not for the government taking away anymore of our rights. Having stricter penalties and laws for it's use and enforcing them, yes. People caught drunk while driving should have their license to drive a vehicle taken away and if they kill someone because of it they should go to jail for premeditated murder. Same with pot and other drugs.

It's just around the corner now, and mostly likely will take place in the near future where we will have the right to bare arms and our freedom of speech taken away. Then it won't be much farther down the road when the government will be assigning you what profession/job they want you to preform for them for the rest of your life and dole out what food they want you to eat and where you will be allowed to live.. You will not have the right to choose anything for yourself. You will be a slave working for the government just to exist.

of course you are right too Linda in what refers to any government-control, in my opinion, no one wants to be controlled.
But I more was refering to the industry, the companies of booze and tabacco, which Potential also has put in big letters.
The biggest problem but is that companies ARE the government or the government consists of such big companies mostly..
the only thing which maybe could stop all this would be a "townsman-strike", people should come together and just defy the whole thing, but this never will happen, cause people are not ready to defy against anything - so it will go on like its going the last years, people get into drugs and alc. much younger and then end up in addiction-self-help-groups, which at least can catch helpfully a bit of the individual mess-but of course doesnt solve the basic problem. lgn

It is sad Nani, the way things are, but if the companies where not making and distributing it, it would go undergrownd with illegal bootleggers doing it. The people who want it would get it, just the same as they do with pot. I don't see it as the companies that causes kids to get this stuff, but lack of parental supervision.

The lack of supervision of parents is the fault of government's over spending which the people have to pay and both parents have to work to made ends meet to live life styles that are advertised by these companies that are trying to make money and give the people jobs. It all a vicious cycle. I see it as mismanagement of government money. Mismanaged on purpose for the soul purpose of turning this country into a communistic country.

"parental supervision" of course you are very right on this too.
We also could say we got a lack of "supervision" on earth anyways,
especially spiritual-supervision ..
we just grow up and have no idea at all why and whereto to move, Lol
okay unless we do kind of "remember" what we had planned when we
were souls .. I guess..
maybe its still a question of: "should" it be like that or not, like the
advaita-philosophy for example says: everything Is like it should be!
Im still a kind of yes and no.. lgn

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

It is also lack of supervision with kids, because they see this on tv and want to try it, that is drugs,sex,drinking whatever..
but sometimes I think the goverment wants people to die off this way..I think its clear that the goverment does not care about the foolishness of mankind and to me I think they actually like it..sometimes I think the goverment are aliens testing us and just watching us and how we grow and learn to adapt to this world lol..of course its just a joke.
but Im also tired of people putting blame on other people for thier mistakes or misjudgements or wrongdoings because I don't care who you are , you know right from wrong..and its just a given I think when we are brought into this world to know this..but of course people will always blame parents or others for their mishaps and I think most of the world sad to say operates like this, they take the action knowing it is wrong and blame someone else for it, I think at the age of 14 you should know right from wrong, and to know that these things are bad for you..however evil and bad attract people, no one wants to be innocent, its boring, and to me no one is innocent, because its just a concept of what we should be..so I think kids rebell more than anything..and sometimes parents can't do much for this..
I think the only way to stop people from doing these things is to make them not exist..lol that is the only way, but than youll get people making moonshine and bear on their own , just like weed people grow their own, its a life of destruction and I see it growing more everyday around me, because the truth there isn't much we can do..we can try to do here and there for people but there will always be those that do not care that must have it their way, and pound 5 shots/10 beers and than drive a car...
