Dear Editor,

All the years I’ve driven, and when I did pass my test that meant I had responsibility. Please take note! Having a driver license doesn’t give people the right to act stupid and to abuse their privilege. When you see a sign that reads, “Do not enter” that means you should obey it.

That also goes for driving sober as well. I have seen many bad accidents due to drinking and driving. I was a ride-along with the Aberdeen Police Department in Washington state from 1973 to 1990, until my family moved to Kingman. In my lifetime I’ve been to many funerals. I’m not a person who enjoys that kind of detail.

Our legal system is a liberal joke. We are all facing senseless things like cold-blooded shootings across our country. Would you want a loved one to be shot unmercifully? A gun can’t load or fire by itself. Guns are not toys! Please use common sense!

Here are four Bible scriptures that focus on these topics: Exodus 20:13; Job 3:26; Psalm 5:8; Psalm 5:4.
