Good. Get drunks off the road.

Define "drunks".

[eyedigress]

You might have just created a new sarc tag! Congrats. :o

Banning automobiles would save lives.

re # 117

HAHAHA..MADD from PA? At least post MADD from your state!

Here in Western PA, most of the DUI's I have heard directly from cops have been from hunters out spotting. Meaning they were travelling about, oh-, 25 MPH and MINUS!!!

[StolarStorm]

But where does it end? Where will you say that enforcement has gone too far in the destruction of our rights and liberty? Damn, this country was founded by men who were willing to risk death for freedom. Aren't you willing to make a very small risk to ensure it? There is NO EXCUSE for harassing and stopping people without any probable cause at checkpoints or to assault potentially innocent people with needles.

5k+ of our young men and women have been killed in Iraq. Does MADD and your type advocate the dismantling of our military because it increases the risk of death? People choke on toothpicks? Gonna ban them? What about LIFE has risks. Deal with it.

When your type brings this nation to absolute nanny state fascism. I guess I and many others will have to risk our lives again in the cause of freedom.

I find death on the highway is nothing to be sarcastic about.

Then everybody over 60 should be removed from the road.

exactly

What? You have a problem with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

Sorry, post #126.

Apologies AmericaUnited on referring to post 117

[SouthTexas]

Not much of a point in posting stats, no one will believe them.

This IS about rights, but many fail to realize, they are supporting those that convolute their "right" to drive in whatever condition they so choose.

There is a problem with drunks on our highways, what other proposals are there to keep them off?

[elkfersupper]

Maybe with your pissy attitude, you don’t have any friends.

My friends are pissier than I am..

[Responsibility2nd]

See post 148.

You also have a problems with the CDC?

Cause these facts are THEIRS. Not MADD.

Again... Don’t shoot the messenger. MADD is just reporting CDC or NHTSA data.

[SomeCallMeTim]

Why would you even try to argue that sobriety checkpoints don’t reduce DWI? Of course they do. There are at least 3 detailed studies available on-line to prove this. People adapt when the possibility for getting caught increases.

The question shouldn’t be: do they work? It should be, Are they consitutional? Sadly... our current SC says, “yes”.

[eyedigress]

Maybe take the license of all sober people away for a year. That should do it.

[Selmore]

I’ve always felt that checkpoints are un-constitutional.
If it was called “patriot” checkpoints, I may be for them, but not just the name checkpoints.
Can you refuse the needle on religious grounds? Isn’t it Christian Scientist (or some other religion that advocates door-knocking) that is opposed to needles?

[eyedigress]

:o

[AmericaUnited]

What? You have a problem with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

So many of these studies are so incredibly flawed and biased as to be WORTHLESS! Just like UN Global Warming studies... when knowledgeable people look at the methods used and look at the raw data they find HOLES THE SIZE OF TRACTOR TRAILERS and that the broad conclusion drawn IS NOT SUPPORTED!

[A_Tradition_Continues]

You also have a problems with the CDC?

You mean the same CDC that created panic about avian flu and mad cow disease here in the USA?

[elkfersupper]

Actually its Drink. Drive. Do anything I don't agree with. Go to Jail. I don’t see a problem here.

There, all fixed
