is it somehow OK if a drunk driver plows into a crosswalk of school kids BECAUSE he was drunk?? well, he didn't MEAN it, it's not the REAL him and all that. when violence and abuse are perpetrated upon us for ANY reason, it's is indefensible and unjustifiable. to try and see it any other way is to minimize, justify and rationalize unacceptable behavior. we aren't talking the errant snowball or Frisbee that gets us upside the head here.......
