There will never be enough facts presented, on any given subject, to convince everyone and there will always be accusations of bias. Hell, we're all biased in one way or another, so does that discount all of our opinions?
I never used anyone's numbers, I only stated that every one of us knows someone that has died as a result of combining alcohol and vehicles. Of course, that was ignored because there is no argument there. And if by chance there is one person that truly doesn't, I have "extras".
I don't know what the solution is, I do agree that the penalties need to be stiffened or at a minimum enforced. Far too many walk on multiple DWIs and IMO, some of this can be attributed to the lawyers that tell you NOT to take a breath test. How else are the cops supposed to prove their case when the evidence effectively clears itself given a certain amount of time? The argument about special treatment of cops, lawyers, and other people of power, is another issue entirely and should be reserved for another thread.
“I never used anyone’s numbers”
I said “the dirty little secret is that healthy people drive better at .1%.” You said that was false. On what basis did you say that, if you weren’t using anyone’s numbers? Women’s intuition?
“I only stated that every one of us knows someone that has died as a result of combining alcohol and vehicles.”
I missed that the first time around, or I would have contradicted it.
It’s a baffling statement. Hardly anybody knows anyone who has died as a result of an accident caused by a drunk driver. I think you must be jumping to the conclusion that your own unfortunate experiences are typical of everyone.
