"Reasonable limits? Again, reasonable by whose definition. You are exhibiting the arrogance I alluded to in my earlier post. How dare anyone question the righteous Frank M who knows better than all of us whats best."

I don't know where you're getting that. His point still holds. Who defines drunk driving to be past a resonable limit? Obvously, different people will have different tollerances for what they consider destructive behavior, but since when is voicing your opinion arrogant? How is the righteous? We live in a democracy, and as such, everyone should voice their opinions, we shouldn't let the vocal minority lead us.

...but, we don't live in a "democracy", we are a representative republic. And because of our local regulations, state and federal constitutions, the minority can often "lead us"....its the way of life here in the good ol US of A, even if there are way too many people that don't understand the basic tenants of our government.

But anyway, this stuff is way to heady for me. I am heading to 51 Mill Street..to eat, drink & be merry, my true calling!

Look for my review soon....and just to leave you all with a thought, while you battle it out here on your keyboards, I'll be enjoying my favorite cocktail at a nice new restaurant by the beautiful Winni thinking about anything but this debate!

Salute!
