[Magdalen] More Clergy DWI

[Jay Weigel]

IMNSHO, AA is damaged by judges who order DWI defendants to attend
meetings. The defendants don't want to be there, period, and are often
disruptive. AA is a program of *attraction*, not coercion, and says so
itself. AA has been too damn nice about taking these people, and I
understand why, but it's time they stand up and say "No more!" If a judge
wouldn't order someone found guilty of driving under the influence of pills
or heroin to an NA group, then that judge damn well shouldn't be ordering
the same person found guilty of DWI to AA. Send 'em to rehab, or send 'em
to jail. That is all.

Grumpily,
Jay
