08 is the BAC level at which every person is deemed unfit to drive. Impaired to drive. Deal with it or present why it is wrong.

Ok, catch up with me now. You statist teetotallers lowered the bar not to catch "drunk drivers." You did it to reap the cash cow of ruining the lives of the unimpaired. A woman who weighs 110 is not drunk of two beers in one hour. A man who is 180 is not drunk off of three or four beers in an hour. But hell, why stop there? No one is drunk off of one glass of wine, but people have been nailed for it. Why not just admit it? You people will not be satisfied until they are tossing people in the clink if they had even a half a beer and then drove home a year later.

Why do you call for alcohol to be illegal?

Because I want government to have a whole lot less money so it cannot afford to enact every law that you safety statists demand.

Afraid to admit this is about driving and not about drinking by itself?

I would admit that were it the case. But it's not. If it were, they would have left it at .10 where it belonged. It's about revenue enhancement and state power, as well as neoprohibitionism.

Drunk drivers make a choice just like terrorists do, and people are hurt and killed by both. Sorry the comparison upsets you but hey, the truth hurts.

I know that you teetotallers loved emotion-based arguments, but that one takes the cake. Let me see if I have this straight : A guy who has had three beers at the company picnic and drives home is the moral equivalent of Atta? That's lollertastic.

Show me why they are not the same in the areas I have likened them. OH wait, you would if you could.

Already did. The government waves its magic wand and presto! Johnny over there is sober with .06 and Jimbo is impaired at .04. How'd you come up with that, officer? "Well, Jimbo looked away from the light." BS. That's not fair.

I notice that you didn't make the case that driving IS your right. I wonder why you went the direction you did instead of actually doing that?

I believe driving is my right. Refund the highway money that was forcibly removed from my paycheck if you want to imagine that it's a privelege.

YES at .08 BAC all people are treated the same in the eyes of the law....that is to say that none are allowed to drive after that level is reached. I love your spin trying to say that isn't the case.

It isn't the case. Some are prosecuted at levels below .08. .08 isn't drunk. And below that is really not drunk. But we keep moving the goalposts to appease you statist teetotallers.

Please refrain from calling me names...it is quite childish.
