Not caring is the attitude that many people have. That is why not much is being done about drunk driving. On the one hand, you have a all the damage done by drinking, the health care costs, the human misery. But on the other hand, that same govern- ment makes a great deal of revenue from taxipg alcohol related activity. It is also very difficult to convince the average "Joe" that drinking and driving is wrong, as well as illegal when he hears that celebrities, pol- iticians - even judges do it too. Changes in smoking legislation came about because people banded together. They let the politicians know they did not think smoking was entirely acceptable. Now people think twice before lighting up in a room full of non- smokers. The same almost militant outlook by the majority of the pop- ulation could make people think . twice before having one for the road. Some people blame the courts for the amount of driving while intoxicated that takes place. They say the fines - are not stiff enough, that the policing of driving while intoxicated isn't tough enough. I say peer pressure isn't tough enough. I am also saying people should-look at them- and set an example for their children. Yours truly Roy W. Smith Port Perry HELPFUL HINTS Shed no tears if you peel onions under cold running water.
