Bill? That's the most unusual name for a mother I've ever heard.
Ultimately it doesn't impact me because I only drink at home (where my Jack Daniels whisky, Smithwick's & Boddington's brew, Woodford Reserve bourbon, and Johnnie Walker Blue Label scotch... is much cheaper).
Actual drunks who drive drunk do it all the time, not just during holidays.
The fact that the checkpoints “work” during holidays just means you’re ensnaring the father driving his family home from a nice dinner where he had a couple of drinks and triggered the “no tolerance” numbers.
Meanwhile the actual drunks see the checkpoint half a mile down the road and turn down a side street instead of lining up since he knows he’s drunk.
But to the MADD types, it’s more about demonizing someone having a glass of wine than actually putting a stop to dangerous drunks.
If ILLEGAL ALIENS were kicked out and kept out, that would do at least as much for the traffic casualty rate.
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be 'cured' against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
I guess nobody has told him what's wrong with a "Straw Man Argument" either.
