people are still going to do it well yes, evidently they DO still do it. people also continue to commit murder, robbery and rape, but that doesn't mean these sorts of behaviours are acceptable. i'm not trying to say that driving scat is equally naughty as rape, simply making the point that just because people continue to behave in a certain way DOES NOT MAKE IT ALRIGHT. and personally i'm not quite ready to say, "well, fuck it, i can't do anything about the fact that people drive on drugs... so why bother?". i'd rather be the prick who has to shout again and again, because some people haven't got the brains to figure it out for themselves. if it changes some attitudes along the way then that's all i ask.
and i'm really sorry about your brother and your friend. i'm sure they didn't "deserve" to die. but the fact remains that your brother made a CHOICE to drive in an unfit state. in hindsight it was the WRONG choice, and your brother has paid for the consequences in the most extreme way. but surely a person must be held responsible for the consequences of their own free choices. So in that sense, your brother - sadly - fucked up, he himself made a stupid choice and it's his own fault that people died.
it sounds harsh, but if you can't accept responsibility for your actions, what the fuck kind of human are you?
i've said it a hundred times, just don't drive under the influence of drugs or tiredness.
