Laws are to protect the public.

Actually tough jail sentences are also good for drunk driver offenders too.

It takes something pretty significant to get their attention.

I used to be a licenced alcohol/drug counselor. I came to believe only the Lord, and/or jail did any good at all.

Well, it will be interesting to see what this prison sentence does to her. It can really be an eye opener. I pray it is, for her sake.

I’m so glad to hear that. With people who love her praying for her, she certainly has a good chance of turning her life around.

Probably because many of them drink and drive.

“someone famous is NOT “just like everyone else””

Yes. They are.

That’s a ridiculously asinine statement to make. There is simply no way to defend it.

>I’d forgotten all about it. The article states that Brandy was not charged, nor was alcohol or drugs involved. Was that the end of it?<

I’m not sure. All I know is, were I to slam into the back of someone on the interstate, I’d get a reckless driving at the very least, at least in my state.

Steady jobs with benefits are hard to come by these days. When you have a family, it is especially important to have benefits and life insurance. You did good, Mom :)

This is probably why most judges are afraid to actually sentence celebrities. It shows a whole new level of how rich people have a different set of laws.

I’m in CA, and I think that if get in an accident while on a cell phone, you can be charged with reckless driving. I don’t have a cell phone, so I wasn’t paying attention to the new law.

Do you mean “would HAVE”?

With two I did. My oldest one wanders from sales job to sales job. I suspect he may be an adult ADD. He’s such a generous soul and it bothers me that he just never seems to ‘get it.’ But, I keep praying for him and since he won’t listen, I don’t try to talk much about such things. Thanks for the encouragement, though.Love, M
