Hey Josh - I looked at your profile and it shows you were born in 1984. I will assume you are still single with no kids... I am willing to bet that you will feel differently in ten or fifteen years when you have a couple kids of your own and have the image of one of them driving a car that gets hit by a person going well over the speed limit.
When I was 20 (16 years ago) I had about 20 points on my license and was really mad at the insurance companies for cancelling my policy and jacking up rates to even carry me...funny, now I drive much differently for many reasons (wife, kids, ticket cost, insurance, job). So I do see the other side, I guess it comes down to perspective. I agree that the racers did not want to kill anyone, but they must have known that they were being reckless. Like Baretta said "don't do the crime if you can't do the time"... where is he now - oh yeah, in jail.
