That is the sickest thing I have read in a long time.  If it was intended
to be funny, it should be in net.jokes, not in net.auto.  I'd be willing
to bet if it were YOUR "loud-mouthed rug rat" that was run over by a
drunk, you'd see how insensitive and cruel your posting is.  MADD is a
group of serious people attacking a serious problem, and it is attitudes
like this that make the problem so very difficult to combat.

I hope you see how hurtful and mindless your note was and apologize to
the people you have undoubtedly offended.  

I wholeheartedly support the cause of MADD.  While I also appreciate good
natured humor targeted at certain social groups, I (and I feel safe in
saying others as well) find nothing humorous in this.

 reason he or she chose not to sign it.)
