Big fan of Ted Kennedy, are you? Admire the way he left Mary Jo in that car after he drove off the bridge, do you? Applaud the way he left that poor girl's body in the water for almost 12 hours while he swam away and went to make sure he did all he could to save his own neck? Couldn't care less about HER family and friends, could you?

ANYONE-- whether they are my kids, my friends, or perfect strangers-- needs to be prepared to face the consequences of their poor choices. If the boat operator in question was under the influence, then he shouldn't have taken the wheel without being prepared to own up to anything that might happen. In this case, what might happen is jail time. But since that was a COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE OUTCOME, it's HIS fault that he might be behind bars (though I'd bet it won't happen.) And that would be true if I was talking about my own son.

People who break the law-- and the laws of common sense-- with no fear of the consequences are one of the biggest problems in the world. And when they don't fear the consequences because they know the loopholes, or can afford high-priced attorneys who can exploit those loopholes, they are no more than lowlife scum.

And when they enable and support others who want to exploit those loopholes at the expense of others-- and the lives of others-- they are the lowest of the low. Yeah, I'm talking about YOU, JJ.

And how do I know you but you don't know me? You must not be very bright. Of course, that doesn't come as news to anyone who knows you.
