it is really pathetically hypocritical to see how pro-degenerate everyone is, then when a questionable DUI pops up, everyone turns in a self-righteous angel

very, very typical

Thanks, that's kind of how I feel. Basically, I feel I was as "out-of-control" as someone going 70 in a 65... or someone who doesn't make a complete stop at school crossing. All three (the two examples and my 0.09 are against the law)... but how much danger is it really posing to the general public?

MADD, the CA Highway Patrol DUI awareness campaign, and the strict DUI laws were created to catch, prosecute, and put in prison those high risk offenders who habitually drove while being over twice the legal limit. However, like everything else in America; once local governments saw what a HUGE revenue stream DUI cases brought in... they were more than happy to arbitrarily lower the legal limits and venomously prosecute even fringe offenders.

BTW... if you believe the hype... and you play on-line poker, you are also breaking the law and probably helping to funnel millions of illegal dollars into our economy (I don't really buy that myself). How would you all like a cop to roll up, see you playing Absolute.com on your laptop, and take you into custody without having to prove a thing.
