Editor, Times-Union:There is a disease that seems to afflict older people more than younger ones.

I can't imagine the depths of despair Brandon Robinson is feeling right now.The pain of knowing he was responsible for unintentionally killing three young people after drinking and driving last summer was compounded Friday when he was convicted in court and officially held accountable. Six months ago, Robinson was a carefree guy who had less than six months of adulthood under his belt. While thousands of underage people drink and drive and never face any consequences, Robinson unfortunately drove a truck that slammed into another vehicle carrying five people, three of whom died. I can't crawl inside his mind and relay his feelings.Only one who's been there can do that.But Robinson showed a range of emotions in court last week, all of which likely came from the heart. He shook uncontrollably during parts of testimony from survivors of the accident and he became visibly upset when a video of the crime scene was shown to the court.

- Puppy Mills - Basketball Compromise Puppy Mills Editor, Times-Union: Today in school we found out that most puppies sold in pet stores come from puppy mills.Puppy mills only breed dogs to make money.They don't treat the dogs well.They don't feed them properly.They don't give them enough attention or medical care and they are not kept in clean cages. Instead of buying from pet stores, please go to your local animal shelter to get a pet.Millions of dogs are in animal shelters because they have no homes.Yet puppy mill owners keep producing about 400,000 puppies a year.

- Teen Drunk Driving - Swope Accident - Alienated - Smoking Ordinance Teen Drunk Driving Editor, Times-Union: As a teenager I am concerned for the people on the road.At the age of 14 I realize others make mistakes while driving.But since when is drinking and driving a mistake? For some it is a death sentence for themselves or for others.It should not be that way, people should feel safe driving.People of today's society are not teaching their children the importance of the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol.As a teenager I realize there is a lot of peer pressure.I also realize you can say "no."I do not want to be killed by drugs or alcohol one way or another.That is why I am not afraid to admit that I have never tried anything.
