Could be.
But what a gamble.
I'll take Pollyanna for 600 Alex.
I think he's genuine.; September 7, 2013 at 10:10 AM

I think too many people drive drunk without thinking of the consequences, I believe this young man found out the horrible reality the hard way and is genuinely remorseful.

Can you imagine the guilt of knowing you killed someone? Most people hide behind their lawyers advice. This kid didn't.; September 7, 2013 at 11:26 AM

lotta joy said...: Yep to Diamond Dave. Being sorry got us out of a lot of whoopins' when we were kids, but adults have to take their licks, as he now knows. It's awful to realize it's too late to rethink your actions.; September 7, 2013 at 7:37 PM
Z said...: I think it took a lot of guts to record that in the hopes others don't make the same mistake.

I hope others who see it think of him when they want to get into their car after drinking.; September 8, 2013 at 12:00 AM
