Took me a second, then realized it’s a drawing for the prizes. So double the number of entries you get with your donation to MADD by using the code shown.. In the olden days, you got a physical ‘ticket’ for each entry you bought for a prize drawing.



A priest, a rabbit and a minister walk into a bar.
The bartender asks the rabbit "what'll ya have?"
The rabbit says "I dunno. I'm only here because of Autocorrect.



National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available by simply dialing 988. The previous number, 1-800-273-8255, will remain active.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

It does seem a bit odd.

Yeah, instead of getting run over by a drunk driver, you get to be run over by some redneck speeding in a "muscle car".

The Miata seems a bit out of place if the presumed target demographic is Billy Bob and his buddies.

In order to get their message across maybe their thought is to get the attention of the demographic most likely to speed while drunk?

You are right, however. It does look incongruous.

It's because MADD is not an anti drunk driving organization. They are a temperance organization.



San Antonio, TX (in the old city)


"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

Yeah, they may have started out as an anti-drunk driving organization but that is what many chapters of MADD have become.
