this being the second post by you about DWI's,

Oh, I've done a lot more than two. Sometimes I do more than two per day. Will continue to do so, also.

Spend some time looking at the damage done by DWI

I have done a great deal of research, and have come to the conclusion that the statistics are over-hyped.

As regards the checkpoints, they are only a minimal intrusion to the privacy rights of the innocent. You're stopped for maybe a minute.

Obviously, you've never been through one of these checkpoints.

History has proven that the Soviet people and East Germans found them intrusive. I do too.

I've seen the victims first-hand. Your research appears to only be from ideologically biased sites.

I worked on an ambulance when I was a high school senior. Some of the worst accidents I saw involved drunk drivers - and the driver almost always walked away.

A drunk driver ran into me when I was 19 years old, I was in a full body cast for months....my friend, in the passenger seat, broke her neck. How I wish there were checkpoint in those days.

"East Germans found them intrusive."

The legal limit in the former German Democratic Republic was 0.00. MADD wants us to follow in their footsteps.

The phrase that distinguishes a free people from an oppressed people is "Your papers please."
