It wouldn't dawn on my to instruct my 17-year old to refuse a breathalizer.

You should consider it, if only to save yourself a few grand in fines and attorney's fees (possibly).

Bill White was also the chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, from 1995 to 1998.

On refusing the breathalizer...
Definitely getting in the car in "whatever condition" was not her best move. I think we can agree on that.

On carrying it around the rest of her life..
You bet she should have to. I agree.
Dumb move by a dumb kid and it will last a lifetime.

On the mayors quote...
Please see my last quote.

Why do we care what some mayor's daughter did? Before people start gloating about this, remember the uproar about Bush's daughters.

A teenager getting drunk is not worthy of space on Free Republic. It's just plain not news.

It's especially not Activism/Chapters.


Don't like it? Two options:

1. Start your own board where you can dictate what gets posted

2. Scroll on by

Besides... I haven't seen the kid's name in the report anywhere else...

Maybe "Elena" is their other daughter...

I will give that more thought but instructing a 17-year old to refuse a breathalizer condones the behavior in a way. What is the message? Don't drink and drive, but if you do refuse a breathalizer. Rather a mixed message, IMO.

I'm not saying it's the proper thing to do. Nor am I saying that it's the right thing to do. I'm simply saying that it's the thing to do.

If it's wrong I don't want to be right? ;-)

Point taken.

One handed phone callers are impaired too.

One screwed up my back because she wasn't paying attention and rearended me at a light.

But she'll never pay her debt to society.

I have a third option, and that is to post my opinion on the subject. I chose to exercize that option. You disagree with my opinion. That's fine.

Your tag line inspired me. Ithink it's great for how you perceive yourself. :)

I thought your profile was pretty cool too.

I've been wanting a new tagline and yours inspired mine.

it's actually a good idea to refuse a breathylizer test. they take your license on the spot, but if you blow fine downtown, they can't hold you.

I wonder was she driving on the Katy Freeway, since Precinct 5 is way out west and there is not a lot there.

Bill White said she was driving his hybrid gasoline-electric car, on which the lights do not turn on automatically.

She needs a Caddy!

Also this PC stuff.

Elena White was working full time until last Friday as a volunteer math teacher in a summer program for seventh graders. Bill White said Tuesday she was about to start a training program for running nonprofits.
