Re: Mistake or Crime

I don't know what prompted this question, but it sure isn't a mistake in my book when a young woman drives at a very high rate of speed on a highway without looking where she is going, and ends up killing someone. It's not a mistake nor an accident. It's no different than walking around holding a firearm locked and loaded.
