Editor, News-Herald: I want to state my opinion about Wisconsin 's drunk driving laws. These laws are not strict enough to discourage or prevent anyone from drunken driving.

The laws may make some people think about not trying it, but most drive under the influence anyway. In many cases, the reason for teen-ege drunken drivers is the fact that young people who are under-age to drink are old enough to drive. I am not saying that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised and I am not saying that I agree that the drinking age should be raised. The fact is that if someone under the legal drinking age wants to drink, he or she will do almost anything and take the chance to get the alcohol anyway.

So, what is the use of raising the drinking age when it's just more of a challenge to them? If it's more of a challenge, a lot more will try and see if they can get away with it.

If someone makes the choice to drink and drive, that is their choice. But if they kill someone while driving drunk. they should be convicted of murder. If someone makes the choice to drink and drive, no matter how young or old they are, without really knowing it, they are also making the choice to maybe end up killing someone. If they do kill someone, that is murder no matter how someone looks at it.

I think the drunken driving laws should be made much stricter, not the drinking age. It is the driver who chooses to drink and drive and to perhaps kill someone. The alcohol doesn't choose for them.

Editor, New-Herald: I think that raising the legal drinking age isn't going to help much. If people want to drink, they are going to get alcohol one way or another. If it were up to me, I would come down harder on the drunk driver. He kills people, not the alcohol.

In my opinion, all that raising the legal drinking is going to do is cause people to buy it for the people who can't. Therefore, the illegal drinker can't drink in public. They will probably drink in public. They will probably drink in the car. which they then have to drive home -- probably so drunk that they will run into somebody and kill the innocent bystander.

Editor, New-Herald: In this troubled world, where it seems that no one cares about the next person, I want to commend the checkout girls at Karau's Warehouse.

I forgot a measurable amount of groceries at the store. I paid for my order, but only took a portion of it home.

When I returned to the store this morning, two checkout girls took care of me- after taking care of the groceries yesterday. They were so kind and considerate that it makes one renew his faith in human nature.
