"Besides, your obvious thirst for revenge"
I have stated clearly that my goal is to see that others do not walk the path I have. You wanna call that revenge, hey go for it. That is as far from the truth as it can be.
I know I'm coming to this party late, but I'd like to weigh in--and I'll preface this statement by saying that just last year, my grandmother was killed by an impaired driver.
The reason why .08 is a stupid law is because it's not concerned with removing impaired drivers from the road; rather, it's about raising revenue.
The problem is that an aribtrary BAC--whatever it is--isn't an adequate tool to determine whether or not a person is impaired. One person may be perfectly capable of operating a motor vehicle without significant impairment at .10. Another person may be far too impaired to drive at, say, .07. The problem is that the person who is far too impaired to drive can get back behind the wheel and go about his merry way after having blown a .07 while the person who was not impaired spends the night in jail.
I don't think anyone is in favor of eliminating drunk driving laws--I think what they are saying is that .08 is a dumb law--because it is.
And incidentally, I oppose current levels of airport security, too. You don't need an alternative. You want to make airplanes safer? Let people carry guns on the airplane. Do you think those three planes would have crashed into buildings if there were a few armed citizens on those airplanes? I don't think so either, and it's a lot more honest.
