Then it shut it down later on Thurs/Fri/Sat nights. I guarantee you'll save more lives and have fewer DUI convictions and see a much more easily correlated cause due to this activity than you ever will with flimsy legislation targeting the tiniest and least dangerous group.
Oh right, but that would cost money as opposed to making it....thats the catch.
People have to see right now that this legislation isnt about 'saving lives.' No one gives a rat's ass about random people's lives, this legislation is about bringing in revenue, the saving lives bit is a convenient smokescreen that no 'decent' person is going to challenge.
They've picked something that will allow them to get away with it because of the inane and irrational overprotective and oversecure mommies. Its no different than the US' fanatical leaps all credited to 'National Security.' They just want more power/control/money without giving anything up and so they need a cause that they can exploit where people will blindly, and willingly give up their rights because of all the voices shouting that they have to or they're stupid or inhuman.
"Dont drink and drive, its about safety and security and putting lives at risk, even that one or two beers after work or at the hockey game, if you even smell alcohol you shouldnt even look at a car, blah, blah, blah."
Look where that blind attitude is going to get us.
