“Sometimes, without knowing all the facts, people assert that youth shouldn’t have to wait until they’re 21 to drink.”—MADD Translation: Sometimes, without knowing all the facts, people assert
that the United States of America ought to be a free country, with liberty and justice for all.

These college students, both 18, never got the chance to drink legally. Underage drinking laws do not protect people under age.
Here’s why.
ELEVEN PRIOR DWI’s A MADD success story
He was driving drunk 0.26% BAC, driving left of center, driving under
suspension and leading police on a high-speed chase, but at least he wasn’t drinking
under age, and that’s what matters to MADD.
He crashed head-on into the students, but at least he wasn’t buying for them,
and that’s what matters to MADD.
While he racked up his eleven prior DWI’s, it’s not like the MADD activists were idly sitting
around, playing cards, though. They were pushing for sting operations, keg registration laws,
counterfeit-resistant ID’s and harsher underage drinking penalties. They don’t care about
drunk driving — they just hate everybody under 21, no matter how responsibly the person drinks.
Outraged and stunned, the victims’ parents, and fellow students from Hiram College went to Columbus to lobby
for a crackdown. They got SB 17 introduced,
overwhelmingly passed and signed by the Governor. Ohio now has
a tougher repeat offender law, thanks to their efforts. Want results? You don’t need MADD. Just CLICK HERE.
At 9:35 local time the morning of 7 November 1938, Herschel Grynszpan, 17, walked into the German embassy in Paris, France, and fatally shot a German diplomat. In Germany, the Nazis retaliated against innocent Jews who had nothing to do with the killing. Mr. Grynszpan, 17, was Jewish, so their absurd reasoning was that “the Jews” did it. Vengeance began with Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, the night of 9-10 November 1938.
Of course, that’s not how it works in the U.S.A. Here, they retaliate against innocent persons under 21 years old for killings committed by drunk drivers. That is exactly the way M.A.D.D. wants it.
It’s obvious why so many voters and politicians would rather commit a calculated, premeditated, malicious attack on the fundamental rights and basic human dignity of persons younger than 21, than impose tougher DWI measures that would apply to the hypocrites themselves when they get caught. But why would MADD go along?
Well, fancy yourself a grieving widow, who will have a chance to make a victim impact statement in court. As you’re thinking about what you will say, your own past DWI crimes come back to haunt you.
Maybe she didn’t get caught, but she knows what she did. She ran a red-phase traffic control signal and by chance nobody else was in the intersection. She played blotto lotto just like that killer who took out her husband did. She is desperately trying to convince herself that her own past DWI crimes are not her own fault, but the fault of a society that failed to stop her from enjoying an alcoholic beverage.
MADD is working for its sponsors in the auto industry. The last thing they would want is a serious crackdown on drunk driving. Instead, MADD pushes a hate crime against innocent persons under 21. This allows the MADD volunteers to pretend their own past drunk driving crimes are not their own fault, but the fault of a society that was permissive of drinking by young persons. MADD’s sponsors don’t want surviving family members to realize how much drunk driving is caused by intense bureaucratic hostility against persons who are not driving.
The hostility shows itself in many ways: Streets without sidewalks, traffic lights without crosswalk lights, snow plowed onto sidewalks to make way for persons who matter, and zoning restrictions preventing persons from living closer to working, shopping, and drinking places.
Bureaucrats review an apartment site plan and ask where the residents will park their cars if there is no parking lot. By forcing the builder to add a parking lot, the bureaucrats raise everybody’s rent, maliciously robbing working families that have no cars. When the breadwinner finally manages to get a paycheck, it’s drawn on a bank that is closed, but the drive-up window is open, for persons who matter.
Walking home, you’re lucky to find a painted crosswalk, but when a freight train crosses a street, lights flash, bells clang and gates drop, because the persons who could get killed are persons driving cars, persons who matter.
Many a veteran loves America and hates anybody who does not. Many motorists have a love affair with their automobile and hate anybody who does not. Look how they treat bicyclists, compared with how they treat the driver of a slow farm tractor.
Longer suspensions and tougher DWI enforcement would mean more persons riding buses, and the bus companies could extend their hours and routes. MADD and its auto industry sponsors want to get these young people addicted to driving cars. MADD wants today’s young persons, tomorrow’s bureaucrats, to show the same hostility to walkers that today’s bureaucrats show.
MADD bigots argue that DWI statistics are an excuse for the drinking age. Just to show how absurd their reasoning is, by that line, the government would be justified in imposing a curfew on everybody who is Black because statistics show that the proportion of crimes committed by Black folks exceeds then proportion of Black folks in the population. Like a curfew, the drinking age is a violation of an innocent person’s unalienable right to liberty.
If John Smith is stopped and the cop smells alcohol, one thing leads to another and John Smith is downtown, where he blows 0.031%. In New Hampshire, that’s over the threshold if you have a prior within the past 10 years. They arrest him and charge him with second offense drunk driving, because somebody else named John Smith got busted a few years ago and was guilty of drunk driving.
If you don’t think the defendant should be punished for a crime committed by another person with the same name, how is it any fairer to punish innocent, responsible alcohol drinkers for crimes committed years ago by persons who were under 21?
You won’t promote responsibility by supporting a hate group that shows
open hostility toward responsible drinkers who happen to be younger than 21, and depraved indifference to their rights.
To combat drunk driving, combat drunk driving.
Just to be clear to the enemies of liberty: You potholes can take all the garbage you spew forth as an excuse, and stuff it. As so many outvoted discrimination victims know, the actual truth is, the drinking age is an unforgivable hate crime perpetrated by hypocritical bigots who would otherwise have to impose tougher anti-DWI measures on themselves, and MADD bigots who, having faced a tragedy in their family, are desperately trying to make believe that their own past DWI crimes are not their own fault, but the fault of a society that condoned underage drinking. There is absolutely no justification for it. The only reason you get away with it is because the outvoted victims are vastly outnumbered on election day and good cop-killers are hard to find.
Has tragedy struck your family?
Gee, Sherlock, why do you suppose so many politicians and voters prefer to impose tougher underage drinking laws on somebody else, instead of imposing tougher DWI laws on themselves? If a tragedy has struck your family, don’t be tempted to seek these easy “victories.” It’s like searching for your keys where the light is better, instead of where you dropped them. Don’t join MADD, because MADD does not care about DWI, they just hate everybody younger than 21.
We Save Lives.org in the past supported the 21 law, but now their website shows they prefer to save lives on the road rather than attack the fundamental rights and basic human dignity of innocent, responsible alcohol drinkers who are younger than 21. If you want to save lives, — especially if tragedy has stricken your family — check them out.

He waited until he was 21. On his birthday, he drove drunk and killed a bicyclist. He only got probation. Hey, at least he wasn’t drinking under age. Wasn’t MADD founded when Candy Lightner’s daughter got killed by a drunk driver who only got probation for it? Back then, they were mothers, and they were against drunk driving. How times change.

Words of Wisdom
“All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offense.
No wise legislature will affix the same punishment to the crimes of theft, forgery,
and the like, which they do to those of murder and treason. Where the same
undistinguishing severity is exerted against all offenses, the people are
led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit
the most flagrant with as little compunction as they do the lightest offenses.” —New Hampshire Constitution, Part the First, Article 18
When you treat innocent, responsible underage drinkers like criminals,
like drunk drivers, by imposing similar fines and license suspensions,
don’t expect them to have a lot of respect for your government’s DWI laws. Underage drinking does not violate
anybody’s rights, so the severity of the offense is zero. (No matter how intensely you disagree, they still know
that the severity of the offense is still zero.) By punishing underage drinkers like drunk drivers you are
telling them that the severity of DWI offenses is also zero. If they report a drunk leaving their party, who is getting
behind the wheel, they feel like traitors. Repeal the underage drinking laws. Respect for the laws must be earned by
making the laws respectable.
MADD founder Candy Lightner left the organization when it changed its mission from preventing drunk driving, to preventing drinking.
“It has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I ever wanted or envisioned”
Note: MADD Canada does not promote prejudice and government-sponsored violence against people younger than 21. They support cracking down on drunk drivers. When they expand their scope, it’s on driving while stoned on other stuff: http://www.madd.ca/english/news/high_drive_2005.html

MADD & Interlocks
In a
press release on 22 April 2008, MADD proudly announced that SB 535 passed in West Virginia. This bill allows convicted drunk drivers to shorten their suspension times and start driving legally if they get an ignition interlock installed. MADD feels it is better that these criminals drive sober, sooner than drive drunk, illegally. But what about Mr. and Mrs. Twenty? Can they shorten their second-class citizenship time and start drinking alcoholic drinks legally if they get an ignition interlock installed on their car? I mean, if interlocks are s-o-o-o effective, right? Oh, no. So intense and deep-rooted is the MADD bigots’ seething hatred of every human being born during the past 21 years, that they will never be able to bring themselves to support such a life-saving measure to reduce the national carnage. Nay, this technology is for the benefit of criminalsonly.

Hey MADD Bigots: Watch the video and tell me if you think it does any good to punish innocent people under 21 for drinking responsibly, instead of getting drunk drivers off the road.
MADD offers statistical analysis of historical crash data, and scientific studies on human brain development, to prove that the United States of America ought not to be a free country, with liberty and justice for all, a country where the citizen decides what to drink, where parents govern their child who still lives with them, where the drunk driver is the one who gets punished. We say: Stop The MADDness!
The light turns green and you want to turn left, but you cannot see oncoming traffic because the hill obstructs your view. A left turn is dangerous. Should they (A) ban left turns and then ticket drivers who turn left or (B) ticket drivers under 21 who go straight or turn right? Drunks have impaired vision and reaction time. They cannot handle a car safely. Driving drunk is dangerous. Should they (A) ban drunk driving and then punish drinkers who drive drunk or (B) punish drinkers under 21 who walk home, or call a taxi?

We care about your problem with this website about as much as you hate-mongering MADD bigots care about the rights of citizens younger than 21: ZERO.
“A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine proves the politicians you voted against
have a right to impose this law on you.”
“The drinking age has to be 21 in all States to avoid having blood borders,
because 21 is the only integer that is equal to itself.”
“The combination of driving inexperience and alcohol make you a greater

They’re definitely not really so stupid that they cannot see the obvious
flaws in their absurd lines of reasoning. Practically nobody is that stupid. Everything they believe in, everything
they stand for, cherish and hold dear is totally incorrect, and can only be supported by invalid reasoning, so they use
invalid reasoning and ignore the flaws. They figure everybody else will ignore those flaws, too, if they worship
their incorrect opinions more intensely themselves.
“We can’t stop older folks from practicing alcoholism, because they hold too
much political power, but some of them started as
teenagers and never had a chance to quit since then, and that gives us the right to punish
Mr. and Mrs. Twenty instead.”
“Everybody who drinks under age is immature and irresponsible because they’re doing something that is
TOTALLY ILLEGAL, as well it should be, because they’re so immature and irresponsible.”
“Drinking alcoholic beverages during pregnancy harms the baby, so let’s impose Prohibition on men younger than 21 and not on pregnant women 21 and older.”
Did you know...? that this webmaster sabotaged an alcohol sting operation in 2008?
The Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center held their annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee and the
conference schedule, published on their website,
mentioned that they would tag along and watch cops do alcohol sting operations.
This webmaster phoned many taverns and liquor stores to warn them, “Thought you might like to
know that the Metro Nashville Police will be doing alcohol sting operations on August 21st from 6 p.m. to 8:30”
This deprived the Metro Nashville Police of some victims and also deprived the visiting enemy agents of some training, because they watched a forewarned
sting operation and not a candid one.
Why do the MADD bigots hate everybody under 21?
Some of the bigots hate the companies that make alcoholic drinks. These people want to deprive the companies of their customer base, and in the process, trample the sacred right of Mr. and Mrs. Twenty to enjoy the beverage of their choice. (Some of these MADD bigots figure that the alcoholic beverage companies advertize their products, thereby victimizing people younger than 21, and these MADD bigots would rather violate the rights of people under 21 than violate the First Amendment right of the corporations to free speech.)
Some of the bigots are furious because somebody under 21 drove drunk and crashed into somebody the bigots liked. These ones want to punish everybody under 21 which does not do any good. Punishment can deter a drinker from driving but cannot deter a drinker from being 20.
Some of them lost a family member who drank under age and died of alcohol poisoning or drunk driving, and these ones really, really, really do not want to blame the deceased. Like drunkards, they want to blame everybody except the guilty one.
Some of the bigots committed serious wrongdoing years ago, by driving drunk, and try to reconcile their present tough stance against drunk driving with their own conscience reminding them that they drove drunk. They think they can erase their wrongdoing by imposing unjust laws on innocent, responsible drinkers younger than 21.
Some of the bigots are desperately trying to shift blame away from themselves for their own decisions they made in their younger days, such as drinking instead of getting better grades in school, and subconsciously feel they can undo these bad choices by cracking down on other people younger than 21.
Some of the bigots are insanely jealous, because people younger than 21 are young and free, and the bigots are not. Some of them want it to be official that they are better than those other people, so they prevail on their government to declare that cocaine junkies and underage drinkers are criminals, while people over 21 who drink are law-abiding citizens.
It’s no longer fashionable to promote discrimination on the basis of race, nationality or religion, so they promote injustice against people younger than 21.
But perhaps the biggest reason is: Follow the money. Some of the big auto makers are among their biggest sponsors, and they profit from drunk driving. Drunk drivers smash cars, the insurance company pays, and the owner buys another car.
The big auto makers don’t want any crackdown on drunk driving, because that would increase the numbers of pedestrians demanding fairness, so they want MADD to focus on innocent people instead.
Answering the MADD bigots
“There is solid support for the 21 drinking age across the country and for good reason. The law and its enforcement helps save about 900 lives a year.” — A now-deleted page on the hate-mongering MADD bigots’ site.
You could save a lot more lives by eliminating drunk driving, but there is plenty of opposition from hypocrites who think they can drive better drunk than teenagers can sober.
Sure, there is plenty of support for the current law, but most of it comes from people who are no longer its victims.This blatantly unjust law is totally unacceptable to some of its victims. The law and its enforcement help save 900 lives by depriving millions of innocent Americans of liberty, their precious right to drink the beverage of their choice. These victims never authorized MADD or the politicians to force this blatantly unjust law on them. These victims aren’t violating anybody’s rights by drinking responsibly, nor even if they drink themselves to death. Besides, if all your friends jump off the roof, should you jump off the roof, too? If all your friends support this unjust law, should you support it, too?

Any serious crackdown on drinking and driving would force more people to choose between the two. MADD’s website shows that their corporate sponsors include the American International Automobile Dealers Association, Arco, Daimler Chrysler, Ford Motor Company, Nissan and Volkswagen of America. CLICK HERE and HERE. They’d rather have people do without drinking than do without driving. With more ridership, bus companies could extend their hours and routes. People reading the want ads wouldn’t need cars. Planning board members see the world through a windshield, so they require parking lots as a condition for building permits for apartments, forcing landlords to pass the cost on to pedestrian tenants, so people cannot save money by doing without cars.

(Plowing snow onto sidewalks, lack of crosswalk lights, zoning laws forcing people to travel great distances to run errands or commute to work.

Auto makers do not want a serious crackdown on drunk driving, because it would give pedestrians more political power.
MADD’s website means just what it says:
“Our nation’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders and we are investing in their future and ours.”
Hey MADD Bigots:
What many of you conveniently forget is that, no matter what is written in your government’s constitution and laws, liberty is a God-given right which no government can justly infringe.
Mr. and Mrs. Twenty are not violating anybody’s rights by drinking responsibly, so you offer crimes committed by other persons as an excuse to deny liberty to Mr. and Mrs. Twenty, against their will, instead of punishing the perpetrators. Consider your excuse rejected.
Many people profess to believe in a sacred “duty” to obey the law, even when the law is clearly wrong. Do note that many outvoted discrimination victims do not belong to your cult. You cannot make up for their non-participation by worshiping your flags, badges, benches and law books more intensely yourselves, nor by throwing temper tantrums when non-participants point out that your law is nothing more than an inanimate document embellished with a fancy seal and some autographs.
No matter how strongly you disapprove of underage drinking, your right to your opinion does not entitle you to employ gun-toting goons in bulletproof vests as weapons of unprovoked violence, to intimidate Mr. and Mrs. Twenty into drinking only non-alcoholic beverages.
Such unprovoked violence and intimidation generate intense hostility in return. What else would you expect? Many outvoted discrimination victims make it perfectly clear that this blatantly unjust law is totally unacceptable to them, and in response you make it perfectly clear that you don’t give a fire truck about their rights.
Well, just remember, the only reason your government gets away with it for the time being, is because good cop-killers are hard to find these days.

Partygoers are justified in defending a cheerleader if a pervert tries to seize her, handcuff her and force her into his car, or if a cop suspects her of being a minor in possession and tries to seize her, handcuff her and force her into the patrol car.

Drunks are justified in restraining the goon (one drunk restraining each limb, taking the cop down on the lawn, for example) while a cold-sober designated driver, or partier who has not taken a sip yet, captures the gun and administers the fatal shots. If you have a family that will miss you when you are gone, don’t try robbing armored cars or enforcing blatantly unjust laws.

If you resort to violent force, you are crossing the line.

The hate-mongering MADD bigots offer drunk driving as an excuse to violate the inherent natural rights of a person who has never driven drunk. Then they offer statistics about things other people did. When that
doesn’t work, they just start naming other crimes the person never committed, as if the point somehow becomes valid that way. With a straight face, they offer fetal alcohol syndrome as an excuse to violate the rights of men younger than 21, while no such restriction is placed on pregnant women over 21.
Underage drinking laws do nothing to protect their babies. They certainly didn’t stop a
40-year-old New York City cop from driving drunk on 4 August 2001, killing a 24-year-old pregnant pedestrian, her baby, her 4-year-old son and 16-year-old sister.

Want respect for the laws? Make the laws respectable.
If you were looking for a website that says it’s okay to drink and drive, (provided you haven’t had too, too much) you’re in the wrong place. This website supports the inherent natural right of people younger than 21 to drink and not drive, because they’re not the property of the government, whose only legitimate function is to secure people’s rights, not violate them by imposing a drinking age. (Maybe you should try RIDL.) This webmaster has found plenty of material on the injustices in the legal system, faced by people accused of drunk driving, but this site is about the right of people younger than 21 to drink responsibly.
Politically, it is much more expedient to trample the rights of outvoted discrimination victims than to crack down on drunk driving. The strict drunk driving laws would apply to the lawmakers themselves.
Convicted felons on parole are forbidden to drink, because of crimes they committed. Innocent citizens younger than 21 are forbidden to drink, because of crimes somebody else committed. That is totally unjust.

Governor George E. Pataki explains New York’s priorities
“The state-of-the-art features included in the redesigned license will greatly improve the ability of law enforcement to keep motorists safe, but also help combat the serious problem of underage drinking that often results in tragic consequences. Just as important, these anti-fraud measures will significantly thwart the ability of those who seek to use fraudulent identification to foster terrorism, break the law and cause harm.”
Thank you, Governor Pataki, for telling us that thwarting terrorists is “Just as important” as combating underage drinking. If I’m on a jet, I for one would rather have the high school students in the next row get served beer than have hijackers crash the jet into a Manhattan skyscraper.

The big question is: Okay, you’ve been drinking, so now how do you get home? The sick answer in convention wisdom is that if you’re over 21, you automatically have enough driving experience that you can drive home safely. That is the real reason behind the drinking age.
If they actually cared about drunk driving, why do they force good drivers to subsidize the insurance rates of these criminals? Convicted drunk drivers pay more, but these rates aren’t high enough to cover the risk, and it’s considered unfair that one insurance company should get them all, so they are assigned to insurance companies by the state government, a process known as the assigned risk pool. Why not raise the rates even higher, so the insurance companies would want them? Then the criminals couldn’t afford the coverage, and so they wouldn’t drive. The oil companies wouldn’t like that.

Gang rape is democracy. Five persons say “Yes,” one person says “No,” the majority rules, and elects one of themselves “sheriff” whose job is to grab and handcuff the victim, and force the victim into the sheriff’s van, and deliver the victim to the place where the will of the majority is to be carried out. One vote is useless, and so is campaigning. The majority would enjoy the victim’s helpless cries, “Please don’t vote wrong!”
Trying to reason with the hate-mongering MADD bigots and their ilk in state legislatures is about as futile. Like rapists, they get a deep sense of satisfaction from their malicious wrongdoing. They care about the inherent rights of innocent people no more than rapists do.
Enemies of liberty demand that people younger than 21, if they want to drink legally, must first “convince” a class of people who refuse to be convinced, who insist on holding their wrong opinion about where to draw the line between the inherent natural rights of outvoted citizens and the authority some other citizens delegated to their government. They have every right to hold whatever opinions they want, of course, but they cross the line when they vote for government-sponsored violence, the use of gun-toting goons in bulletproof vests, against innocent people who are peacefully drinking their own property.
Revoking drivers licenses for several years for first offense drunk driving would put a lot more people on the bus. Bus lines could afford to run later. Local residents wouldn’t need cars. Oil companies would “lose” money. Drunk drivers vote, and they think they can drive better drunk than you can sober. (They say this to people about whose driving skills they know nothing.)

Enemies of liberty, here’s a dead cop in your face: On 19 November 2002, a Freedom Fighter waited at a gas station in Red Bluff, California, for the next cop to pull in to refuel a patrol car. The Freedom Fighter marched up, took out the cop with a few shots, and fled. He later explained his motives on a website. The drinking age was one such motive. Only when the oppressors have to pay the price with the blood of their beloved cops, for their deliberate, malicious wrongdoing, will they care about the demands of outvoted citizens.

MADD is a 501(c)(3) non-profit grass roots organization with more than 600 chapters nationwide. MADD is not a crusade against alcohol consumption - MADD’s mission is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking.

MADD is a crusade to destroy the rights of all persons born during the past 21 years, innocent and guilty alike. What good does it do, not to drive drunk, “demeaning yourself as a good citizen” if you’re still going to be treated like a criminal anyway, because of crimes committed decades ago by other people?
“The total cost of alcohol use by youth is $58,043 billion per year,2 the equivalent of $216.22 for every man, woman and child in the United States. Many of us are all too familiar with a major tragic consequence of underage drinking-traffic crashes. The combination of alcohol use and driving by young people with little driving experience and low alcohol tolerance can indeed be deadly. But several other problems are associated with underage drinking, including crime, various types of traumatic injury, suicide, fetal alcohol syndrome, alcohol poisonings, and alcohol dependence and abuse requiring treatment.”http://madd.org/stats/0,1056,1736,00.html
Fifty eight thousand billion dollars? Gimme a break! Oh, and the cost of suicide. (Live Free or Die) How many dollars did they peg a teenager’s life at? Fetal alcohol syndrome? Oh, I guess they figure it’s okay as long as the pregnant woman is at least 21. What difference does the pregnant woman’s age have to do with fetal alcohol syndrome? The baby is still just as wrecked. Of course, your average hate-mongering MADD bigot would much rather get run over and killed by a drunk driver who’s older than 21. Maybe Mr. Glynn Birch and so-called Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) should rename the group “Fathers Against Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Among The Babies of Younger Mothers.” (FAFASATBOYM).

What’s violent about the drinking age?
Violence takes many forms. It may not seem violent to put poison in food, but if you kill somebody, it’s murder, which is clearly violent. The bigots command their government to dispatch gun-toting mercenaries in bulletproof vests to patrol and intimidate, threatening to grab and handcuff, and force into the patrol car and deliver to the government’s jail, persons whose nonviolent conduct is distasteful to the bigots. Forcing somebody into a patrol car is violent. Locking somebody in jail is violent. Stealing their beer by force is violent.
But the drunk driving statistics have improved greatly over the last few decades.
Should Abraham Lincoln consider whether crime statistics might rise if the slaves are freed?
Statistics of other people are no excuse for the use of gun-toting goons in bulletproof vests against an innocent person. Want better statistics? Support better laws against drunk driving. Don’t infringe the right to drink and not drive.
Arrests are up because drunk people are getting busted just for opening a car door. Fatalities are way down because of faster response times. Due to the proliferation of cell phones, it is not as common to need to take the next exit and lose precious time looking for a payphone to report a crash. Ambulances arrive with better medical technology, and bring crash victims to hospitals with better technology, faster than ever before. Cell phones also allow witnesses to report drunk drivers before they crash.
Furthermore, many drunk driving deaths are not listed as such, because the driver flees the scene.Cached In the past, when drunk drivers could kill somebody and get probation, drivers would stay at the scene. Now, they flee, and even though they may get caught, there’s no proof they were drunk, so the death isn’t listed as a drunk driving crash. Case in point: A 32-year-old cop allegedly ran a stop sign and ran over and killed a 15-year-old discrimination victim in Chicago on 22 September 2005, NBC 5 ...Cached Witnesses saw the cop in a tavern before the crash, but there isn’t proof the cop was drunk.
Statistical analysis is boring, so don’t expect your TV to spoon-feed you much of it. People change channels. Statistical analysis does not support the hate-mongering bigots from MADD. If you have a lifetime clean driving record, what better statistics can they want from you? They don’t want better statistics. They want to use crimes committed by other people as an excuse to dispatch gun-toting mercenaries in bullet-resistant vests to grab you, handcuff you, force you into a car against your will and deliver you to the government’s jail, and force your landlord to evict you from your apartment for drinking your own property. Reason ...Cached.
If the statistics go up, MADD will say this “proves” how irresponsible people younger than 21 are. If the statistics go down, they’ll say this “proves” how the drinking age works, and must not be repealed. You cannot win with hate-mongering, irrational bigots.
Have you ever driven drunk? No? Ah, that proves you drive drunk. You deny it, just like all drunk drivers do. Denial is proof, admission is proof, you can’t win with bigots like that, and they get to vote.

Leftism is a totalitarian force. Wherever leftism is in a position of power it tends to invade every private corner and force every thought into a leftist mold. In part this is because of the quasi-religious character of leftism; everything contrary to leftists beliefs represents Sin. More importantly, leftism is a totalitarian force because of the leftists’ drive for power. The leftist seeks to satisfy his need for power through identification with a social movement and he tries to go through the power process by helping to pursue and attain the goals of the movement (see paragraph 83). But no matter how far the movement has gone in attaining its goals the leftist is never satisfied, because his activism is a surrogate activity (see paragraph 41). That is, the leftist’s real motive is not to attain the ostensible goals of leftism; in reality he is motivated by the sense of power he gets from struggling for and then reaching a social goal.

It’s not just reverse psychology impelling people to drink because they are forbidden to. It is also last-call psychology. At last call, adults on licensed premises order up, because it is their last chance to drink, for a while. When a kid is offered a chance to drink, it may be the last chance for two months, so the kid drinks. As time passes, chances happen more often, and the kid gets into the habit of accepting every chance. Repealing the underage drinking laws eliminates this problem for young people.

Furthermore, eliminating subsidies for state colleges would mean the students would spend 8 hours working and 4 hours studying, instead of 4 hours studying and 8 hours drinking.

The only legitimate function of the government is to secure the rights of the people.

What should be done to cut down on drunk driving by young people?
The mock crash demonstrations are the best way to explain to the young drivers that the time to undo a fatal crash is before it happens, by not driving after drinking. Videos need to be produced, splicing one segment after another of TV news coverage of selected drunk driving crashes, adding only the date, and the call letters, channel number and location of the station. Have teenagers watch one after another and get the message that drunk drivers are the most hated creatures in the county. It doesn’t matter which county, since TV news brings you there.
Another strategy is to remind them of the consequences. If you drive drunk, you’ll get a criminal record. When you try to go to Alberta, Manitoba or Quebec, where the drinking age is 18, you’ll be turned away at the border because of your criminal record. If you crash, you could face a serious charge. Imagine turning 21 and not being able to have a legal drink because you’re in prison, or on parole or probation, forbidden to drink.
Outvoted discrimination victims: Don’t blame licensees, who are afraid themselves of being arrested for selling or serving their own property. The government and its cops are the enemy.
Food for thought: Somebody drunk offers you a ride. Is it wrong to accept? The drunk is the one committing the crime, and putting you in danger, and it’s your life. However, the drunk is offering to endanger innocent people for you. It is wrong to accept such an offer. If somebody gets killed, you are legally blameless, but innocent blood is on your hands. The drunk wasn’t going to drive that trip without you in the car.
If you are carrying alcoholic beverages and haven’t started drinking yet, there’s nothing wrong with keeping a gun handy in case the cops stop you and want to handcuff you and force you into a car against your will and deliver you to the government’s jail. If we could somehow put a gun in the hands of Senator Judd Gregg’s wife on 7 October 2003, she’d be justified in shooting those two guys who were taking her into their custody and forcing her into their car. The Second Amendment wasn’t written for sportsmen.
The State legislature shouldn’t have voted to use the cops as weapons of unprovoked violence against you, if they didn’t want you to take their weapons away from them.
The courts should strike down the underage drinking statutes if they don’t want you to strike down the cops.
However, you must store the firearm safely before you start drinking. Your right to defend yourself against a cop does not include the right to miss and strike an innocent person. Drinking and guns don’t mix.
Look, buddy, if they’re drinking under age, they deserve the punishment they face. The drinking age is the law. If you don’t like the law, change it. The cop is just doing his job. He has a family. It’s not okay to shoot the cop just because you hold the opinion that the law is wrong.
Look, buddy, those Negroes have a lot of nerve escaping from their masters’ plantations, and they deserve the whipping they face. Slavery is the law. If you don’t like the law, change it.

It is also worth noting that MADD Canada does not promote violence against people under 21.
Ontario
MADD Canada doesn’t promote bigotry against people younger than 21. If anybody tries to argue that the drinking age in Ontario should be raised to be equal to that in the USA because of all the
19- and -20-year-olds getting killed in drunk driving crashes in Detroit, Michigan, right along the border, they are implying that those people drank in Ontario and crossed the border. Be sure to point out that they are including people like Nehemiah Thompson, 20, killed 19 June 2004 by a Detroit cop who drove drunk, the wrong way down a one-way street,
and Marvin Shaina, 19, killed 30 January 2005 by a drunk Detroit cop who only got probation.
Sure, there is plenty of support for the current law, but most of it comes from people who are no longer its victims.This blatantly unjust law is totally unacceptable to some of its victims. The law and its enforcement help save 900 lives by depriving millions of innocent Americans of liberty, their precious right to drink the beverage of their choice. These victims never authorized MADD or the politicians to force this blatantly unjust law on them. These victims aren’t violating anybody’s rights by drinking responsibly, nor even if they drink themselves to death. Besides, if all your friends jump off the roof, should you jump off the roof, too? If all your friends support this unjust law, should you support it, too?
