Speeding around blind corners, driving home on 5 beers, operating an aircraft without enough rest, the list goes on.... basically, we've all done things that *could* have hurt somebody if our luck went sour. Of course there is a difference between trying to limp home buzzed and driving with a fifth in your system, but be reasonable here guys. Just because somebody got a DUI doesn't make them a menace to society.
If you haven't been irresponsible in your past, I feel sorry for ya.... thats not living :-) That said, most of us have decisions we regret, just get on with life and do what you can to rectify the situation. Most of our records would be much spottier if we had a camera on us 24/7, so kindly get down off that high horse.
