Drunk driving has been on the decline for quite some time. The new laws and penalty increases, together with the lowering of BAC to 0.08 from 0.10 was done at the behest of MADD, which has, according to its founder, Candy Lightner, who’s no longer with the group, gone so far beyond its original purpose that she had to leave it. Now it’s just one more pressure group, seeking to get more and more behavior criminalized.

Not particularly relevant, but I found this, attributed to Candy Lightner:

It [the brain of 18-year-olds] isn’t developed, and that’s exactly why the draft age is 18, because these kids are malleable. They will follow the leader, they don’t think for themselves and they are the last ones I want to say ‘here’s a gun, and here’s a beer.’ They are not adults; that’s why they’re in the military. They are not adults.

Just goes to show you, everybody's got something in them waiting for a chance to come flying off the wall.

Evil spirits?
