I won't ever be doing 70 fucking miles per hour in a residential zone so if anything bad happens it will indeed be an accident and its much less likely to be lethal.

What ever happened to hoping for equal treatment under the law for everyone? You can't hold a high standard against others and expect a lower standard for yourself. That mindset describes one of the worst aspects of our society at the moment.

If I ever killed an entire family by crashing at 70mph in a residential zone, 20 years in jail wouldn't be adequate punishment in my eyes. I'd be offing myself out of shame and guilt as soon as possible. Fuck that. How could anyone ever live with the guilt? The level of negligence is so fucking high that its almost incomprehensible.
