Driving is a privilege, but it's still wrong for you to be punished without due process. If you commit a violent crime, you are arraigned in front of a judge that can demand bail, no bail, or release on recognisance... based on the situation. In a DWI, you get your license revoked, period, even though in the vast majority of cases the person does not represent a threat to themselves or others, and is a good member of society. I believe first offense DWI's should be just points, a fine, and a substance evaluation. If you are not considered to be an alcoholic, then you're free to go on with your life. Now if you repeat within 10 years, now we're talking a more serious matter which deserves more serious penalties.
I don't approve of drunk driving, but I think the penalities for first offense have gotten out of hand.
Demon, I'm glad you're not making laws. I'd hate to see a system that mandates agreement with your beliefs. Also, I'm amazed that you allow your children and their friends to play in the street. My dad would have whooped by butt for THINKING about playing in the street. That's what your yard is for, preferably back yard.
You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.
