Alright, I never knew Curls, I'm not going to pretend that I did, but I knew of her, and I know people that knew her. She seemed like a very good person, and one I would have liked. For those of you that don't know, Curls was a girl on the newsies mailing list who got hit and killed by a drunk driver. I know of some people that think it was all a prank, and that people just made this up to see what would happen. I don't believe that this is the case. I know people that knew her very well, and say that she would never do anything as cold and tactless as that. But I can't seem to get these other people to see that it wasn't a prank, and that even if it was, the fact still remains that people out there are getting hit and killed by drunk drivers every day, their family's lives are being ruined, and the drunk drivers are walking away, or getting released from jail, and doing virtually no time. This has got to stop. For the sake of Curls, and people like her and her family, everywhere. As for her individually, my thoughts and prayer's are with her family, even though they don't know me. And I hope that the driver who murdered Curls, is put behind bars for life. This has to stop! So, in conclusion, I hope I don't need to say this, but please don't drink and drive, as you can see, the results are devestating. If you're here, please take this ribbon, or make one like it, so that you know, and everyone who sees it knows the effects that drunk driving can have on the lives of innocent people.

back!
