DUI laws allow people to drive under the influence. In fact, DUI laws encourage people to drive under the influence. Hypocritical twisted law that only serves to punish people in cruel and unusual ways. Anyone that thinks its ok to ruin or severely encumber someone's life even though that person did not cause damage to life or property deserves to sit in jail for a year just for the hell of it. Oh, and they also deserve to pay ridiculous sums of money in the form of insurance and licensing for good measure.
If you think DUI laws are effective at preventing driving fatalities, maybe its time you start advocating the same penalties for folks who make the conscious decision (and uninebriated decision) to KILL children and parents with their cars while using cell phones, chomping on grease dripping burgers, texting, talking, reading a map, fiddling with their radio, applying makeup, crying from depression, laughing from a good joke, SPEEDING, passing in the right lane, tailgating, driving with their brights on, or driving with faulty equipment.
Until I see advocacy against these conscious decisions that KILL innocent people by the likes of LEO's, MADD, SADD, and the individuals seeking revenge and retribution against people sleeping in their cars while DRUNK, then I will continue to consider those folks devoid of any moral or principle standing, and personally consider their message to be a joke.
