You are right. There are plenty of totalitarians on this site. Disappoints me greatly. I'm here because I see many of us as standing up for freedom. Some don't.
Lotsa nanny-staters on both sides.
That's the problem with many laws, especially those that regulate personal behavior. They may be well intended and designed to protect the public good, but often power hungry bureaucratic agencies get involved and have the opportunity to abuse individuals and the public as a whole and often do.
If you can't hire a cab to get you home when you are beyond driving legally (which doesn't take much), then I guess the new state position has to be that appointing a designated driver will not help you either.
It doesn't matter that there are arguments in favor of some of the causes for which government power is harnessed, the original premise of this country was that government shouldn't have great power over the people in the first place. Or at least that's what I was brought up to believe. Many years ago in central VA.
