You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
We're #1.
ReplyDeleteMore drunks or more aggressive enforcement?
Is there a breakdown by town also?Like how many for Nazareth, Northampton, Easton, etc. I don't think it is more drunks but much more aggressive enforcement.
ReplyDeleteIs NW Lehigh Township suing to get rid of the DUI laws too? Are they encroaching on our states rights? our right to drink and drive?
ReplyDeleteThere is a town by town breakdown.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:30. Is it possible for the fed'l goernmtn to go too far? Do our DUI laws impose undunded mandates in individual states? Do they require every citizen to enter into a contract w/ a private company?
ReplyDeletewe are required to have auto insurance if we own a car in pa. it isn't unusual for the gov't to require people to purchase something.
ReplyDeletemoron, never the Fed government. That power is reserved fr or the states. Butlike most Libs, you probably consider the Constitution "more like guidelines"
ReplyDeleteObama was very smart. He has two layers of deniability for the back-breaking cost of his scheme. He whacked the insurance companies in a volume-for-margin exchange. They've not agreed to lose a dime and will be shooting fish in a barrel by getting new customers under threat of federal penalty. They'll pass the nuclear bomb-size portion of cost to companies who'll be charged with the responsibility of shoving it up individuals' asses. Many large companies are already announcing impending benefit cuts and, in some cases, elimination altogether of retiree plans. Retirees who manage to keep their plans are really going to get killed. They'll all be dumped into the government plan where the prescription drug benefit is double the cost of the current plan. You'd think these details would have been thought through. Way to be, Lehigh Township.
ReplyDeleteThe DUI "law" is STATE law, 7:30, aka Healthcare Handout Harry, so the state is exercising its right of self-governance.
ReplyDeleteYou don't ever think before you rant, do you?
Now put that hand away, no one's got anything for you today.
Another legacy of the Stoffa Administration. The depression brought on by the County governments performance is no doubt at the root of the excessive drinking in the county.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the world is coming!!!!!!!!!!
