No problem with the legalisation. Never said I did. Big problem with operation of 4000 lb weapons and such while under the influence in public places. There is collateral damage. I've no desire to save anyone from themselves, they are welcome to their choices.. I would promote opium dens where people peacefully contemplate their navels have a nice sleep and don't become rowdy. Fine. Rowdy or not I don't care.. Why would you worry about rowdy ? it's their choice to be there. There would be a reasonable expectation of rowdyness (well not probably in an opium den).. but a good mix of booze, coke and whatnot can make for some pretty strange perception and good possibility of rowdyness... again I don't care as long as they aren't running me over or doing other stupid shit that endangers me.. Actually endangering themselves could be beneficial to the rest of us... from your post.. This is collateral damage.... findarticles.com You have had an epiphany from the start of the post :o) Yes I get your point but you are arguing about another unintended consequence.. about something with which I do not disagree .. Local collateral dammage.. Early morning, November 27, 2004. Seventy-year old Ion Mihaila is driving with his friend to a farmer's market near Newmarket, Ontario. Without warning, Mihaila's van is struck by an oncoming car. He dies instantly. Three others, including his passenger, are injured. Jeffrey Dressler, the driver of the car which set the crash into motion, is also sent to hospital. Constable Tim Kuttschrutter of the York Regional Police finds Dressler there. "I could smell the odour of alcohol," describes the officer. Dressler was drunk. Constable Kuttschrutter says what happened was no accident. "This is an act that he committed himself. He chose to drink and he chose to drive," explains Kuttschrutter. What makes Ion Mihaila's death even more tragic is that his killer -- Jeffrey Dressler, had done it before. In 1996, after a night of drinking, Dressler veered his car onto the side of the road. A collision with steel guy-wires killed his passenger instantly. Dressler's blood alcohol limit had been more than three times the legal limit. He was convicted in 1999 of impaired driving causing death -- served two years of a four-year sentence -- and was soon back on the road. Personal experience tells me that .24 blood alcohol count is not good for driving no matter how hard you concentrate.. The Black Swan
