Carl: Good morning

Sungold: Now that Ethan Couch, the "affluenza kid" and his enabling mother have been caught, it will be interesting see see if he lands in the big boy jail system.. What a precedent this case is setting. Will :affluenze: lead the way for other rich teens to get off of a major crime so easily?

Sungold: This case just blows my mind. He is a druggie and from the looks of him, he is still using something. He should be in jail for the rest of his life.

Sungold: All our grandsons have short hair!

Sungold: I'm addicted to the chat room, first thing I go to every morning after I read my email. It is a nice and informative start to my day.

Sungold: The passenger in Ethan's car lived but is paralyzed, He continued to party, do drugs and live it up since being charged

Sungold: The time he served was in a fancy facility where he could do yoga, ride horses for therapy and eat well

Sungold: Actually, I missed this entire case and just learned of it this week when he and his mom were on the lam.

Sungold: Oh great, now the kids will just goof off even more. Whose bright idea was that?

Angel: I am going to have to look it up but apparently it is bad for they psyche

Sungold: Well, of course it is, do they have a better solution, like going to summer school to get caught up?

Angel: No they just move the kids up, at some point they drop out, no accountability

Sungold: There you go, the new trend...no accountability. Move then in and get them out as fast as you can.

Angel: Yep
