American juries are also growing increasingly unsympathetic to drunk drivers. Not too long ago, a repeat drunk driver who ran over two little girls got a life sentence. Normally you have to murder someone in cold blood to get that punishment.

Some might call it excessive. Maybe it is. But when I look at those pictures and think about the fact that the driver I just talked about had been caught before, I wonder if there really is such a thing as adequate reparations.
