“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.”

When MADD repeats numbers from whatever source, they are endorsing them. Further, MADD has been caught advancing numbers that apparently have no other source than their fevered imaginations.

“As well as any connection I may or may not have with them, which there is none.”

I never said you had any connection with them.

“But none of that has stopped you from fabricating a connection now has it?”

I never need anything to stop me from fabricating anything. I refrain from fabrications as a matter of principle and habit. In line with that habit, I have not said or implied that you have any connection with MADD.

“As far as being a prohibitionist, I’m far from it.”

Again, to say that you have believed the numbers advanced by crypto-prohibitionists is not to say that you are a prohibitionist.

“I don’t care if you get sh*t faced daily”

Can’t drink. Diabetes and liver problems.

“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.”

Well, yes, the only right I am referring to in this discussion is the right to drink and drive. I discuss other rights in other discussions, but this one is about drinking and driving.

If you think that we should outlaw driving after drinking any amount of alcohol, then you should say so, rather than trying to get your way by blurring the difference between driving after drinking but unimpaired, and driving while impaired.

from 355 I indicated that you were accepting the statistics advanced by “MADD and the other crypto-prohibitionists.

I never attributed anything to MADD and only referred to issues I have first hand knowledge of.

You are the one that brought the numbers into the discussion, not I, all I did is correct your number. Sort of silly to intentionally post something wrong, because everyone KNOWS what it means, while you bash others as being incorrect. Can't have it both ways.

And now, you are trying to create another argument where there was none. No where did I call for total prohibition.
