<div dir="ltr"><div>People die from skiing, from driving, from walking, from living. Should we resist those activities? Here is my view. Let people do whatever they want as long as it doesn't interfere with others. Sure there are costs but not nearly as much as the costs of our high cost prison system. Some wish that they could believe in a nice white guy in the sky that will give them life ever after if only they choose to believe. Others cannot buy that because it sounds to them like a bunch of crap. (I'm still on the fence.) Life is hard and the fear of death causes folks to avoid thinking about it in all kinds of ways, sometimes (ironically) to the extent in which their indulgences make them that much closer too it. Arrest folks who drive drunk, high, whatever -- whenever their actions place risk upon the lives and interests of others -- but stop judging people and just let them live their own lives the best they can.<br>

and 24 years of age. <i>Alive at 25</i> was implemented in <i>Idaho</i> in 2010. This course is a 4.5 hour program that focuses on the decision making processes and behaviors that young drivers and passengers display in a motor vehicle and is designed to prevent
the number one killer of teens, automobile crashes.</span></span></p>

and 24 to take responsibility for their driving behavior. </span></span></p>
