Zero Tolerance is probably the worst concept ever to makes it way into politics (3 strikes being the second worst). That sort of thinking is what got a girl stripped searched in high school because another girl accused her of having a motrin and a 7 year-old suspended from school for drawing a stick-figure shooting a water-pistol. There's also the issue of alcohol in common food - for example 7-Up is 1 or 2 proof as are most other citrus sodas.Originally Posted by Marlin
But all the other ways people get into accidents are not worth murdering for? Talking on a cellphone. Fiddling with the radio. Spilling a drink in their lap. Looking at a billboard. Yelling at the kids in the backseat. Eating a sloppy hamburger. Not getting enough sleep. Tailgaiting. Etc, etc. All of them cases of bad judgment. All of them just as preventable as getting intoxicated.Drinking and driving is just plain stupid, heaven forbid if my family was in an accident with someone that was intoxicated, I would end up in jail, the drunk driver would not(deceased folks don't go to jail around here)
There's an old saying about jumping off bridges. A limit of 0.02 is particularly bad policy because it invites all kinds of false positives. Anyone experiencing ketosis from low-carb dieting or being diabetic can blow 0.02 without much trouble.In Japan the limit is .02.
