For the benefit of Blum and Rosen

It would wise for Blum and Rosen to avoid the following countries:

"Environmental Engineering News" published some rather sobering information about punishment for drunk driving convictions in other countries.

In Australia, the names of drunk drivers are printed in newspapers under the caption, "He's drunk and in jail."

In Malaysia the driver is jailed and, if married, the spouse is jailed.

In the United Kingdom, Finland and Sweden there's an automatic jail term of one year.

In Turkey, drunk drivers are driven twenty miles out of town and forced to walk back ten miles.

In Bulgaria, a second drunk-driving conviction results in capital punishment.

In El Salvador, your first offense is your last -- execution by firing squad.

I went on vacation one time to the mountains, and we stayed in a small mountain town inbetween hiking/camping in the mountains and whitewater rafting...

in the town they had a newspaper that printted EVERY single action that the police took in one section, and EVERy action the fire dept. took in another section.
