WOW. how EXTREMELY dangerous and irresponsible she must be. don't be judgemental. and get a life. thanks.

(kate had consumed alcohol much earlier that day, but nowhere close to the time that she got into the car).

"critical thought". practice it. until then, i would stop making any concrete decisions of opinions.

YOU DONT KNOW. so stop acting like you do. morons. don't assume that katu has a monopoly on capital T truth. Mon, 3 Aug 2009 22:12:00 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/52316237.html#IDComment29351349
