The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the US auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 47 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"
Only the states of West Virginia and Kentucky were different, where over 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!"

What Ever Happened to MM?
by
Charles Rowland
on Thu 29 Nov 2007 02:34 PM EST
In the late 90's a movement was afoot to change the direction of alcohol treatment from the A.A. "disease" model to a more empowering "moderation" model. The movement was known as M.M. (the Moderation Management Network) and was the brain child of Audrey Kishline. She wrote a book called Moderate Drinking, Crown Trade Pub., 1994. The group has a web site at www.moderation.org. If any DUI practitioner has a client who shudders at the idea of AA, but wants to have some positive and meaningful mitigation in their case, perhaps MM is the answer. I would particularly like to know if anyone has ever used MM and what kind of experience you had. Please contact me at 937-776-2671 (24 hr. number) and/or 1-888-ROWLAND (1-888-769-5263).
