| I've never known anyone whose life was saved by a DUI checkpoint. But I've known several good people whose lifes were nearly ruined by one. I don't want drunks driving down the road any more than you do, but at the same time, checkpoints are not the way to handle the problem. This country was founded on personal freedom, let's not keep giving up those Freedoms to every little power hungry Barney Fife who can qualify for a badge. Good cops know how to make an arrest with out screwing up the lives of every one else. Let's give those good cops a raise and our support, and send the little power mongers down the road.
As for drinking and playing golf, I love it! But it's rare that I do have a beer while playing. |
