Kask Re...<<<If you really believe that getting arrested for drunk driving and allegedly "forgetting" about it is ok then you have shown yourself to be a true hypocrite<<<< First of all, the reporter didn't ask about DWI tickets specifically. If you treat a DWI just like another driving ticket in your mind, then 25 yrs later, it would be easy not to remember the DWI as an arrest, but rather as a DWI. If the reporter had asked about DWI, it would have been easier to remember as it focuses the mind. GW got the ticket in 1972. Secondly, DWI's back then weren't considered serious even by the courts, until the 3rd or 4th offense, when the penalties were racheted up to a serious level. And your pathetic insinuation that forgetting about getting arrested is just like fogetting about what grades you had in first grade lower you in the doodoo even more<<<< Maybe your parents didn't care about your grades, but mine did, and we took them seriously, far more seriously than he took drunken driving tickets back then. My dad was a farmer and he considered bad grades a waste of his money, which was not to be taken lightly. We had to study every night and grades were serious. You will note, that I also asked which classes he took and I said that if one was asked about a specific subject, one could remember the grade easier. I assume you also couldn't remember your classes and grades. Neither could I. Hmm, interesting, 4 for 4 on that question. Shouldn't that tell you something. In fact not just a hypocite but an idiot to boot.<<<<<< I believe you have already called me that. Is that another thing you have forgotten? I would also say that if you don't recognize that grades were taken far more seriously 30 yrs ago than they are now; and DWI's were nothing more than an expensive driving ticket back then, perhaps I am not the only hypocrite and idiot on this board. Things change over the yrs and to not recognize that seems to be the problem here.
