[QUOTE="Jim Thompson, post: 601981, member: 52990"] ...can't believe that I went off (to Martinsville btw...good one!)for a few days and this is still going. Beyond that, I read all this crap...maybe the problem is me! Perhaps I can't follow it; certainly not Pedro's welds. I think tho, in that scenario Tom, that the REAL Texan was Pedro, not Tex, at least in my minimal capacity to remember a little of the history of that region. ALL I CAN SAY is: more power to the law! If they save one single life, their efforts are worthy, and I don't care what you call their motives in doing it. I also respect lawmen and women generally. I trust them, I need them...and I don't believe for a minute that "most people" don't. Now just one more point and I'm done (completely), I don't understanding the logic of the following statements ...sorry: "I know there are statistics out there, just maybe they are not for public used. Like it says 100% of second time DUI offenders have had a prior DUI. IIRC, 10% of all first time DUI offenders are alcoholics. 40% of all 2nd time are alcoholics, and something like 90% of all 3rd time offenders are alcoholics. So, it is reasonable to say that the first time offender is not an alcoholic, while a 3rd offender most likely is one." [/QUOTE]
