Jessica Simpson's former preacher father was arrested for a DUI this week. Sad. Hard to see success corrupt people, but you have to figure it only brings out what's within us, I suppose.
That would be odd enough news, but no, it doesn't stop there. Randy Travis (who I saw in concert back in the day) was arrested for a DUI this week too. With this caveat: he was completely naked after crashing his car. He also purchased cigarettes completely naked.
People hurt. It doesn't matter what they have. If they don't deal with their true desires, bad things happen. Things like naked DUIs. People...let this be a lesson to you. Deal with your crap!

So true, Kristin. If we don't deal with issues, they eventually come out in full force in later life. When I was younger I used to be judgmental towards people who majorly stuff up. I know that was arrogant on my part... Being older now I understand that people don't usually stuff up because they're bad eggs... They just can't contain all they've been suppressing for most of their life.

I agree Judy and Kristin but I think not so arrogant as innocent of the ways of the world. Sometimes it's just too hard…to keep trying, to keep your head above water, to do what others expect of you...The great thing about not being famous is that our stuff-ups are not broadcast across the world.

I don't have sympathy for drunk driving though. I hate that people use THEIR issues to put others in harm's way. That makes me mad!

I get too when people do things that harm others in the process. Drink driving is never ok.

I get MAD too...

I agree. I have no sympathy for drunk or drugged up drivers either. Anyone who shouldn't be on the road like that. I was referring to Judy's comment, "When I was younger I used to be judgmental towards people who majorly stuff up. I know that was arrogant on my part…" and being general when I was talking about famous people stuffing up.
