I read Danny Shultz’s July 30 letter headlined “Clean up the drunks too” and felt compelled to make a few comments. The first comment is that credit should be given where credit is due.
Many people consider Shultz a single-issue fanatic with a propensity to babble incoherently. I say these people are looking at him and his literary contributions all wrong.
Shultz has spent a fortune denouncing drunks. He constantly has ads in the personals and contributes to the letters to the editor section, always targeting “drunks.”
My point is this:If ever there was a true child of an entity, then Shultz is the fruit of Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s proverbial loins. I have never seen such dogged determination and passion displayed over what is becoming more and more of a trivial non-issue.
For instance, five sober girls die in a fiery explosion because of a cell phone.
I think MADD should embrace Shultz as their poster boy and spokesperson. After all, he obviously is one of their strongest proponents.
Everything he writes is reminiscent of a MADD advertisement, and they should recognize and appreciate that in a forthright and public fashion.
