"This is the thinking that gets us gun control."

Very true. Thank God for the Second Amendment.

I take it this means you are against the DWI laws because they punish behavior that is potentially harmful?

Yes and no.

Were roads owned properly by private entities, I'd have no problem with whatever restrictions the owners wanted. Even wearing purple on a Sunday.

But since they are owned by the state, and insurance is regulated by the state, and the state itself is immune for its responsibility in issuing driver's licenses, and the state has erred too much for political reasons on the side of caution to the point of .08 instead of actually imminently dangerous (.10 or so) as according to actual risk factors, yes I have a problem.
