No that was my business law class.......

Actually I beleive at the time we were learmning that in class she was
attempting to run for office somewhere, maybe governor? I haven't had a
chance to look at the article that was posted from the Press Herald...

However the fact that she is suing the cop that arrested her seems a
little foolish to me. Maine has  one of, if not the toughest drunk driving
laws in the country, and those laws are there for a reason. Because they
don't want drunks on the road. 90% of the time when someone gets killed in
a drunk driving accident it is an innocent victim that was in the wrong
place at the wrong time. For example- look at the recent accident on 295
in Portland that three teenagers were killed.....who lived? The kid that
was driving.

I'm straying away from the topic here but I had to make a point. Hope all
is well with everyone.
