Default A question for you....

Since September of last year, two people I knew were killed by drunk drivers. I know it's a widespread problem, and I know that 90% of those who drink also drink and drive. Many of the membership here drinks and drives. However, it seems that (for many reasons) the only way to stop drunk driving is through technology. By the advent of a fool-proof device that prevents the automobile from being driven by an intoxicated person, the problem can be eliminated. I get all that. What I don't get is what should happen to those people who chose to drink and drive, when that choice resulted in the death of another person. What is fair? Is it murder? Do they deserve a chance to do it again?

I suppose the question I want to pose the membership is this:
What should we, as a society, do to those people who kill other people when drinking and driving?

Tell me.
