Oh, and will you feel safer when guns are congregated in the hands of costumed super heroes? So it follows. I may have driven drunk, and if so I did not kill anyone. The abitrary designation of .08 or whatever the fuck is the issue.

Federal accident investigators recommended Tuesday that states cut their threshold for drunken driving by nearly half, matching a standard that has substantially reduced highway deaths in other countries.
The National Transportation Safety Board said states should shrink the standard from the current .08 blood alcohol content to .05 as part of a series of recommendations aimed at reducing alcohol-related highway deaths.
More than 100 countries have adopted the .05 alcohol content standard or lower, according to a report by the board's staff. In Europe, the share of traffic deaths attributable to drunken driving was reduced by more than half within 10 years after the standard was dropped.
[...]
A woman weighing less than 120 pounds can reach .05 after just one drink, studies show. A man weighing up to 160 pounds reaches .05 after two drinks.
New approaches are needed to combat drunken driving, which claims the lives of more than a third of the 30,000 people killed each year on U.S highways — a level of carnage that that has remained stubbornly consistent for the past decade and a half, the board said.
"Our goal is to get to zero deaths because each alcohol-impaired death is preventable," NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said. "Alcohol-impaired deaths are not accidents, they are crimes. They can and should be prevented. The tools exist. What is needed is the will."

whatever.
If you think trying to keep drunks off the road is somehow infringing on your rights, then you might want to see whats up at an AA meeting.
You;re that pig, you ever been to an AA meeting? If so, you are a prick for shitting on their traditions. If not, why do you blather about things you know naught of? Drunks off the road? Yeah, that makes sense. That is why there is an arbitrary designation of .08. I assume you are a statistocrat, I will laugh when you get caught in your own trap.
Cavalier shit sucker.

Fishing.
It might vary state to state. I know in Ohio you can't drink at the state parks. Takes all the fun out of it.
I'm not too good with AZ laws.

If you think Safety Uber Alles is necessary, you might want to live in a bubble and leave the rest of us alone.

I think you already said that. Umm, not sure what you think I would get there. Anything else I can do to make you feel safer? Check under the bed maybe? The closet?

Thanks.
Haven't been fishing in many, many moons, but I seem to recall people drinking while at the lake. The law may have changed since then. :/ I'd have to google it. Too many damn laws.

No no, I was in earnest.
Zero Tolerance.
You do support the new move to mandate a .05 BAC right?
But I say, why stop there?
There is no logical reason not to make it .00 right?
I mean, you don't support killing toddlers and puppies, do you?
Zero Tolerance.
*sigh*
Seeing a bunch of drunks at AA is not a legitimate reason to erect a police state.
When do I get to fine your ass for making me live under such conditions?

It's a nice sized fine out there. The rangers will even come up to you to see what is in your cup and if you have a license. I've been checked a few times and luckily had my license. I usually didn't buy one.Thanks.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset.
When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage.
America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government.
Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long. - Ron Paul

What the fuck, I would think a group like AA would meet with nothing but respect from liberty minded people... being a voluntary, self funded, organization whose sole goal is to assist those afflicted in finding a better path. Propaganda works, evidently. AA is a good model for any voluntary association... check out the numbers. AA, where hope is extended to the most hopeless situation. It doesn't matter, denigrate away a group with numbers 'liberty' would gizz to have.
A bunch of drunks at AA. SMFH. Full disclosure: I am done on this note, and will leave ignorance to its uninformed way.

Who's going after AA? I made a couple of jokes, then said they were only jokes and that it helped a lot of people.

yeah, I've been to a few. Probably 4 or 5 a week for the past 17 years. And I'm quite certain I'm not violating any of the traditions.
