It seems that as of maybe 1/2 year ago, all the states simultaniously decided that drunk driving was *THE MAJOR PROBLEM* and instituted crackdowns, increases of drinking age, drunk traps, etc. Why all at once, when there was little hue&cry before? Has FedGov passed The Word? I wish to make clear that I am in no way, shape, or form an advocate of DWI. Driving safely while sober is hard enough; why take the chance? Still, the timing of the Big Push is a bit suspicious. Flames to net.flame, wherein my 'n'-key rhythm is well-established. {BTL}!charm!mam
