“Convenient, all the while discounting other’s numbers.”

After what has been said about the numbers advanced by the crypto-prohibitionists, you still align yourself with them? When they are clearly inflating their numbers through blatant dishonesty?

“I never said a word about MADD or quoted one stat, yet I was tagged as a statist and MADD supporter.”

Didn’t say that. I indicated that you were accepting the statistics advanced by “MADD and the other crypto-prohibitionists.” I said that because you rejected my statement — formerly in common currency — that .1% is not drunk.

“You tend to claim that .1% is safe and that you are the only one that has ever seen anything in their life and maybe that’s true.”

Oh, road apples. Lots of people know that .1% is safe. They’re just afraid to open their mouths, because the crypto-prohibitionists will vilify them.

“I hope you are never the first to come upon a wreck where the bodies are scattered all over the road, all because someone didn’t have the sense to NOT get behind the wheel of an automobile.”

Now, see, this is the kind of lunatic irrationality I object to.

What in the world does the fact that terrible accidents occur have to do with whether .1% is safe or not? Or whether it should be .08%?

You could lower the level to .000001%, and somebody could still get behind the wheel at .2%.

Lowering the legal limit has no effect on the danger represented by those who drive way over it.

Let me try saying that another way. The accidents are caused by those well over .1%. Lowering the legal limit does not change that.

“Keep on denying there is a problem, that will really help.”

Yeah, it will help almost as much as lowering the legal limit, which has no effect on the danger represented by those who drive well over it.

It's quite disingenuous of you to continue to attribute any of the counts to MADD when you know quite well they are quoting other peoples numbers. As well as any connection I may or may not have with them, which there is none. I don't know anyone in the organization and I have never contributed one cent to their campaign. In fact, I think it's over the top most of the time. But none of that has stopped you from fabricating a connection now has it?

As far as being a prohibitionist, I'm far from it. I don't care if you get sh*t faced daily, just stay off the road. Again, you have your pat argument against issues I never brought up.

You make the claim that it's about rights, but it appears the only right you are referring to is the right to drink and drive otherwise you wouldn't be spouting .1% is safe.
