If I had my way, I would sentence her to live with some Amish family for 6 months. Just maybe something would sink in and she would learn there is a purpose outside herself.

I hate to see anybody wasting their life.

"If I had my way, I would sentence her to live with some Amish family for 6 months."

I understand what you're saying, but the Amish are a remarkably dysfunctional lot. They're kind of romanticized in the media, for whatever reason - perhaps because they keep to themselves and cause absolutely no one else any harm. But they have a lot of problems within their own communities, and within their own families.

Strangely enough - and much like Robert Downey, Jr. - the only that's going to save that young woman is 6-months in jail, perhaps a little longer. At least she's not driving anymore, so when she does go down, she'll hopefully only take herself, and no one else.

She’d hang with the Amish kids that go hog wild between age 16 and 21.
