Have you ever been stopped in one? How much time out of your busy life did
it really cost you? I have been through a couple and I know for a fact that
they do not breathalyzer everyone. So how intrusive is that? They still need
to have probably cause to search you, and breathalyzer you even when they
stop you.

Its a right, that is all, just because you do not choose to excercise that
particular right does not mean it should be thrown away, that is the
arrogance that I am talking about here, the arrogance of liberals in this
country.

So I say, since I will likely never excercise my right to assemble, then
maybe we should take that right out of the first amendment. I am pretty sure
that you also have no use for the freedom of religion, so I guess you
advocate dropping that one too.

Well I choose to excercise the right to keep and bear arms, for a number of
reasons. The chance that you will ever be harmed in a firefight of any kind
is remarkably slim, so why should you even care? A some point, when that
imaginitive person threatens to shoot you, you might want to actually go out
and buy a weapon. If you have it your way that would be impossible, yet the
person that is threatening to shoot you will probably still have the means
to do so.
