Sounds kind of sloppy... but they were both drunk, both in the same car, and both knew the risks. At least no innocent bystanders were injured or killed. Hopefully this individual learns something here and we don't read his name in the paper again. Increasingly, this has become the case all too often.
I think you can relax Richard, really. The rabid Left Wing agenda might have run off the rails and is going to be limited a little bit. However, I know lots of conservatives and lots of Republicans, and nobody is advocating the horrors the dolts on the Left are projecting onto others they disagree with. The old people are going to stay at the old folk's homes, the kids in the daycares, and school lunch will still be served. Republicans and conservatives all need clean air to breathe and water to drink, just like a Left WingNut.
Won't be so confused the day you make a mistake, have an accident, and are not charged and don't "pay the price". So far, we're a little hesitant to criminalize every accident and send people to jail for not being perfect.
What's "rediculous" is comparing a drink of water to drowning and claiming it is the same thing.
Design a logo for the city of Waterville? Ouch... not sure, they'd better hire someone from away to do that. The term "sourdough" doesn't apply to just Alaskans that have soured on the country and aint got the dough to get out.
Oh boy... poor Bob. Glad to see he can still type though.
It falls onto every person to use caution and reasonableness when going through their day. Drivers are responsible for maintaining control over their vehicle and not running over pedestrians. Tragic accidents do occur however, and in order to avoid those tragedies sometimes pedestrians must also exercise some degree of judgement. The pedestrian has a somewhat greater interest in avoiding these situations under some systems of law... Newtonian physics comes to mind.
Growers' rights? At this time, they have the right to remain silent. Anything they say may be held against them in a court of law. They have a right to an attorney, and if they cannot afford one, one will be provided.
And, my friend... in statistics, when the confidence interval includes the test figure the effect is said to be "insignificant". Like I said, and you seem to comprehend something of it... "By THEIR OWN FIGURES they could well owe" Bob Nutting on the order of 1 to 1.5 million dollars. I'll help you... 2.3 million dollars minus 637,444 dollars equals 1.67 MILLION DOLLARS. This is a range of over 1 million dollars... Even with statistical manipulations this doesn't even begin to be sensible.
What makes more sense was some auditor with an agenda crawled inside Bob Nutting's filing cabinet with a magnifying glass and an attitude and came out with a big bill. This was used at the time to drive him out of business. And now it feeds to rumor and innuendo mill.
I know how they do things. It's a con game, and one they're only too good at. Missing paperwork, and paperwork they classify as "incomplete" or "insufficient" equals "FRAUD AND ABUSE" in their minds. They've bankrupted providers in every state, and continue to do so. This while nearly completely ignoring fictitious home health agencies that exist only out of a POST OFFICE BOX fleecing the system for millions of dollars for supposedly treating people who were never sick, and some of them were even DEAD. They're not interested in fraud and abuse, they're interested in extorting money back from providers they paid for services in order to nearly bankrupt them and recycle the money back into the system. And they wonder why nobody wants to take medicare and medicaid anymore? Really? They really do wonder... it's a wonder.
