I realize that trying to convince you you're wrong is like talking to a wall. But, most responsible adults don't consider a DUI a "minor thing".

Thanks.

Can we try to move back to the subject of the thread? This has become too much about MacAllen. I'd rather see a discussion about DUIs and underage drinking, etc. in general. I think such a discussion is very relevant.

Whether or not an individual is able to exploit his contacts for his own personal benefit (who wouldn't?) is irrelevant to the topic as far as I'm concerned. If we can't get this thread back on track, it'll have to be locked.

To promote your suggestion, I did a rather down and dirty web search under underage DUI and found following sites for review and comment:
