Debate

Anyone who hosts a party where alcohol is consumed becomes legally responsible for all guests. I agree that the host of a party is legally responsible for their guests. If you invite someone to your house and alcohol is being consumed you should make sure they aren't driving, and that they do have a ride home. You are providing a place for people to drink, so you are responsible for them. According to MADD Canada there were between 1350 and 1600 impaired crash fatalities in Canada each year. That works out to 3.7-4.4 deaths per day. There were also 75 374 impaired related injuries, which is 207 per day. If you host a party and let your guests leave impaired, or drive home impaired you are just contributing to these statistics. In conclusion, if you are hosting a party you are legally responsible for all the guests.

55 Fiction: The Natural Life Saver

I was struggling to hang on. The three men were trying to push me out the door. We were 10,000 feet in the air on a private plane. They finally threw me out and I was free falling with no parachute when I realized it. I spread out my beard and parachuted to the ground.

The sun was rising and you could feel the temperature increasing at an incredible rate. The hot air was suffocating and tasted dry in my mouth. The heat was all around and there was no escaping its grasp. My hair was soaked, and sweat was dripping off my face only to evaporate as it hit the burning sand. The sand was scorching and with every step I took another blister would arise on my foot. The sun was so strong that it felt as if I was being pressed down into the sand. As I pour the cold water from my canteen into my mouth it becomes warm almost instantly. The exposed skin is beyond burnt, and feels as though it is about to bubble. My skin is so dry and cracked that when the wind blows it hurts, and the small grains of sand scar my crisped skin on contact. The heat is like torture, and death is almost certain.
