Just because you did not kill anyone when you shot a gun in the air does not make it any less a crime.

By driving drunk, he put people in danger. On Easter Sunday in Chandler, my sister's car was struck by a drunk driver. He never even slowed down; he continued on until he pulled into a parking lot and hung up his car on a median, where he was found and arrested.

I held my sister when she collapsed; she spent a few hours in the ER and luckily will be okay. Who knows how many times this person had driven drunk with no consequence?

Cisneros was lucky, as was everyone near him on the road while he drove drunk.

Scared of MADD: It's refreshing to see someone finally reporting the truth regarding the state's attempt to curb traffic accidents related to drinking.

Everyone is scared to broach the subject at the cost of offending Mothers Against Drunk Driving or anyone who has ever had someone they know hurt or, God forbid, killed by a drunk driver.

The vast majority of accidents aren't related to drinking. I know that people who have two or three drinks with dinner are not the people who're fading across two lanes of traffic and killing innocent people. However, this is the group that the state has decided to go after.

I really feel for the two women you wrote about, and feel that they are a perfect example of a faulty system. There is so much pressure on police! Why do we bother having legal limits if they really don't mean anything?

Dear Phoenix New TimesMy name is Etienne Marais and I am 17 yearsold. Recently I read a letter in The TV Pluswhere a reader spoke up against Harry Potter.As a Christian I wish to state that the Bible clearly tells us to have nothing to do withwitchcraft.When I was 14 years old I had the most terribleexperience. For a long time I heard voices thatrepeated over and over:'Harry must go.'As a Chirstian I would like to warn people who arecrazy about Harry Potter. Rather stay away before you also have to experience the traumathat I did.I am praying for the salvation of everyone involved with Harry Potter some way or another.I've also sent e-mails to some of them to tellthem that God loves them and that I will keep onpraying for their salvation.

Kind regardsEtienne Marais
