" If only we could save everyone from these needless & senseless tragedies.
This is precisely why the citizens within the Sun Chronicle community should stay on the offensive and keep reporting the under aged drinking parties that are going on around them.
While we haven't read about those arrests around here for the past few months, doesn't mean that the idea has been abandoned forever either.
Obviously there is some serious dialog taking place around here now. Let us all hope that it never ends. "

" Since we can't stop people from making tragic choice while drinking, I think all cars should be equiped with some type of alcohol testing device. It would be soooo worth it. Yound and Old alike can't be trusted to make good choice while under the influence. Let reduce that margin of error. "
