      •  3000 drunk drivers on the road (0+ / 0-)

        from Thanksgiving to New Years tells me that there is a major drinking problem in AZ.  I'm grateful that I didn't have to be on the roads in AZ during that time.

          the percentage of drunk drivers on the road in Arizona is no different than any other state.  The number nailed is purely a function of enforcement style.  Arrests don't equal convictions and many of those people stopped will be exonerated.  

          Drinking and driving is a nationwide problem and I doubt if anyone replying to this diary wants there to be no penalty for the choice if caught.  

          It just amazes me though to hear liberal, progressive voices turning issues into black and white, good and evil.  The truth is always somewhere in the middle of the divergent viewpoints.

            people who abuse alcohol.  I have drawn my conclusions and judgements from watching and seeing first hand what alcohol can do to families.  Couple that with those abusers who after all of these years of knowing what can happen if you drink and drive, do so anyway and sometimes not only destroy their own lives and those of their families, but the lives of innocent victims.

            Drunk drivers are criminals and they need to be removed from the roads.
