So, If I read this correctly, Bob, The state of Oklahoma had basically decided that "reckless disregard for the safety of others", which the definition to me at least sounds more of an issue of wanton behavior and being purposeful in nature, as compared to what I believe "culpable negligence" sounds as though it would or should at least mean an incidence/accident with the direct cause being some inattentiveness due to reasons such as an oversight or any number of what might be considered "a momentary mental breakdown" such as confusion, were ruled to be one and the same.

If I'm right in my assessment here, all I can say is.....
"Judges!!! HRUMPH!!! I wonder where some of them leave there brains laying around sometimes."


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
