I don't give a shit about drunk driving.



So my brother tricked me into filming some bullshit get together at his school recently. I went there thinking I was going to film a pep rally or something worthwile, but suddenly the lights go out and this movie begins to play. There's a car crash in front of the school and one of the drivers looks likes she's dead. Police, firefighters, and paramedics are swarming around the scene, pulling bloody kids out of one of the cars and loading them up onto a goddamn helicopter. A driver is pulled out of the cars and is drunk tested by the police (stand on one foot, touch your nose, walk a straight line) and fails. So far, the film looks pretty real, but I'm also not buying it since all the "victims" of the crash are sitting up in front of the audience without a scratch on them. I ask one of the students sitting next to me what the hell is going on in this footage and the student tells me the whole thing was staged the day before and that it was just some lesson about drunk driving.

Once I get the gist of this whole presentation, I get pissed and histarical. Think about the money that was put into that wasteful production (they had a HELICOPTER and actual PARAMEDICS in the movie) just so kids can be taught lessons they don't care about. Despite the fact that the whole thing was staged, everyone is acting all serious as if the crash actually happened and somebody did die. I was hoping that some of the kids in the audience would start heckling the illusion and boo the movie, but everyone sat in their chairs all sullen as if it was some kind of huge travesty.

The two speakers, who were in no way affiliated with the school, went up and talked about their dead loved ones that they lost to drunk driving (boo hoo). The first speaker was a queen bitch that kept looking into my camera like I was from the evening news. She was some huge prosecutor from the state that gets her thrills from giving twenty year sentences to DUI's. She was one of those cocky assholes, full of herself and bragging about how many poor drunks she's put in jail. And then there was some kid who's dad was killed by a drunk driver, but he wasn't from this school.

Here's why I don't care about these stupid bullshit anti - drunk driving causes: nobody I know has been killed by a drunk driver, nobody at my brother's high school has been killed by a drunk driver, and in comparison to all the really heavy shit going on in the world, drunk driving deaths is very very very low on my "cause whore" list. With its wimpy body count, it doesn't even compare to the amount of people President Dick or Chinese communists have killed. Shit if you're going to make a $8000 presentation, do it on something worthy of my attention, like backwards oil conglomerates, genocide in Africa, repression in Tibet, or that damn environment everyone's ignoring.

Richy-rich white skins and their bullshit causes piss me off so fucking much. Everyone drives a fucking tank nowadays, so why are they afraid of getting killed by drunk driver. Their armor plated Panzer-strength SUV will protect them and their six baby litter that's barfing and shitting in the back seats.
