Oh brother, you would think with what had happened last weekend ( Saturday morning January 3rd 2026 ) on route 12 with a fine individual driving as well under the influence and killing 2 people. Others wouldn't want to apart of that statistic as well. You just can't fix stupidity. Life really isn't that hard but unfortunately we live in a society today where the human race makes it harder then what it should be.
