Regardless of the issue do we want legislation driven by bereaved, emotionally fragile menopausal women?
MADD and PETA, hard to tell them apart.
The Speaker of the House would love to answer your question ;-)
It’s for the children.
I don’t drink and drive even after one or two drinks, as there would be a good chance that I’d lose my job (and become unemployable) after a conviction. Also, I have no respect for drunk drivers. Being in my mid-20s I enjoy a good party, but one of the things that always goes through my head before I go out is “How am I going to get home without getting behind a wheel?” It’s not a toughy... either stay home or fork over money for a cab.
That all said, MADD is a neo-prohibitionist movement that is populated by nanny-state liberals. Former employees have said that for many of these women its not a common-sense approach to drunk driving, its all out prohibition. Most of the leadership in that organization are women who have lost family members to drunk drivers, which tends to add emotion over logic in their arguments. The reason why MADD has a voice is because unlike other issues like abortion, it’s hard to find an angle on this issue without sounding like you’re pro-drunk driving.
