Re: Madd's mandate to raise funds.
I know it does some awareness programs for teens, & some intersting T.V. ads, but is there anybody out there In Favour of drunk driving?
I would doubt that.

So, Madd's fundraising ought not to be on the scale of the Cdn. Cancer Society, Food Banks, or other broader based groups. Does it link with Al. Anon, Al. Teen, or the John Howard/Elizabeth Frye Societies? If not why not?

If the majority of drunk drivers that are involved in fatalities & injuries are at the point of falling down, slobbering dead drunk, they probably spend a lot of their lives getting & remaining that way. They are alcoholics, & logic doesn't come into it, especially after 10 drinks.

The Madd commercials have given us permission to intervene & take somebody's car keys away, but it isn't addressing the root of the problem which is alcoholism. What happens when nobody is there to take the keys?
