   If we actually prosecuted based on the effect rather than the perceived   
   cause, then the punishment would be a lot more consistent.  I honestly   
   don't care if the driver was under the influence of alcohol or whether   
   they were reaching down to pick something up from the passenger   
   floorboard.  If they end up killing 4 people because of that, the   
   punishment should be based on the result (4 people dead) rather than the   
   cause (DUI or inattentive driving).
