Drunk driving still kills a huge number of people. I'm glad he might do something about it before he killed someone.
Yes, my California/Louisiana friend. A clear mind speaks. This is the real issue. A drunk driver who can potentially kill someone. Celebrity aside, DUI is the issue, not all the movie stuff. Humans are complicated beings; we're not so easily stuffed into categories. That's convenient. Love the sinner, hate the sin. Mel is a talented man.
