BSD you are taking on more than is possible. Some people who have been up for two hours, had three cups of coffee, and think there ready to go, are still more hazardous than some people at .12 BAC.

Free agency, in combination with the rule of law, has been trying to work here since 1776.It's not perfect, but it is more perfect than anywhere else in the world, and we should all be proud to be a part of it.

Sometimes good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people. We have to work hard with the opportunities that knock on our door.

When government tries to legislate character, they've crossed the line! We don't need more laws, we need less! We get all kinds of wind bags in a position of power, and all they want to do is write law. Let's try following the laws that are reasonable on the books, and dump the stupid ones that already exist!

"Some people who have been up for two hours, had three cups of coffee, and think there ready to go, are still more hazardous than some people at .12 BAC."

This is a very good example of how .08 affects all people equally under the law. SOME doesn't cut it when you speak about 'blind justice" right?

"When government tries to legislate character, they've crossed the line!"

That is a fair statement. But see they have to protect my rights as much as they protect everyone else's. This demands a balance be struck. The elctoral college reflects a balance of two opposing views that both bring valid arguments to the table.

This is why I find .08 a valid balance. It is a line of seperation that applies to all people equally, social drinkers can have a few and still drive in the proper timeframe and other drivers can be protected as well as they can be without removing the ability of others ti drink and drive responsibly.
