I didn't hear any yelling. But when I read gracie's original post, I identified completely with it. I haven't seen personally the carnage that drunk driving has brought, but I would throw myself in front of the car rather than risk my son being injured by a drunk driver. I can only imagine that if I had seen the results of drunk driving, that the intensity of my emotions would be even stronger.
I'll never forget a talk given by a former policeman about the importance of seatbelts. He very honestly, and with obvious emotion, recounted the details of a wreck he had come across where children were not belted in. I didn't see it as a bit grisly. I saw it as life saving and I was enormously grateful to him for being willing to share something so painful to him.
And hey, we aren't imaginary. We're just not physically present at your location.
