This is what I think....I don't want to start a war, but some things
irritate the hell out of me. I feel sorry for the guy, just like
everyone, including Andrew.
I think that, due to some twisted adherence to political correctness,
which these days, seems to rule the masses,  some are so concerned
with being conceived as sympathetic, that, though they also felt as
Andrew, they would betray themselves and not express it.  If the guy
wasn't wearing his seat belt, he was a turkey. Simple as that. It's
the people we leave behind who truly suffer. That's all.....and I
haven't even had a drink.
