Tim.

Sometimes you are incredible, Tim.

Constitutionally the responsibility is that of the states.
Is it incredible to want to follow that, or to think the state governments are not incompetent to deal with the situation?


Why do you always make such an issue of the feds vs the state? Our gov't stems from the concept of federalism, not separate but equal. And actually I would not mind this continual argument over states rights vs the national gov't if I remembered you objecting strongly to Bush's run to the Supreme Ct.

Have you ever been tested at that level? Most people drive poorly at that level

I have never has my BAC content measured. I imagine that it is possible that once or twice I drove at that level. Perhaps there should be some repercussions but the amount you are impaired at .08% is a lot less then at .1 or .12. I don't think you should face the same level of penalty. Perhaps .07 or .08% should get you the equivalent of a speeding ticket. Maybe levels far above .1% should have greater penalties.


Try driving at a .08% level. That combined with night driving and poor weather conditions is the perfect scenario for an accident.
