in a bold move for public safety, texas police are now arresting folks (though probably not the bush twins) for being drunk. in a bar. oh hey, you're drunk..in a bar. you have the right to remain silent. if you're wondering why then put your mind at ease. it's to protect you from what you might do. because you never know, we have to put you in jail.
"There are a lot of dangerous and stupid things people do when they're intoxicated, other than get behind the wheel of a car," Beck said. "People walk out into traffic and get run over, people jump off of balconies trying to reach a swimming pool and miss."
you know, they could have saved a lot of trouble by offering drinks at the local jail
This is actually completely rational from a law enforcement point of view. Why should cops wait outside bars hoping to catch bumbling drunks on their way out of the joint when they can simply bust people inside?
If you want some honey, simply go to the bee hive.
If the state wasn't here to protect us, we might end up stepping into traffic, falling off a balcony or pissing on a electric generator. God bless the rational security state!

Hey, has anyone wondered if maybe those drunks walking into traffic and falling/jumping off balconies are just nature's way of thinning the herd? I mean, let's get a little Darwinian here and say it is all part of natural selection. The dumb ones get drunk, are less fit, and thus they die. With the cops busting them inside the bar, would this not interfere with a natural process?

If we abort more black babies, will crime then go down?

If we abort everyone, crime will go WAY down. So will interest rates, greenhouse gasses, and ATM fees.

Not exactly related to this post but... are you going to discuss the possible revival of the Fairness Doctrine? It sounds like a law being passed in Atlas Shrugged.
