Mothers Against Drunk Driving or Mothers Against Drinking?

August2

If people aren’t driving, why the f*ck does MADD care about how much people drink?

Amtrak is trying to gin up new business by offering $100 in free alcohol to customers on some overnight trains.

The national passenger rail company is making the unusual offer to promote a new high-end service being offered on a trial basis for certain sleeper car trips. …

Mothers Against Drunk Driving questioned whether $100 in free alcohol was too much.

“This sounds like a lot of credit toward possible overindulging,” said MADD spokeswoman Misty Moyse.

So now MADD wants to control our BAC when we’re on train with sleeper cars? They just need to disappear. At this point, they have more than accomplished their goals from a policy standpoint. Go away now. Stop trying to control what we do when we’re not behind the wheel.

No obviously related posts.

Its the same as the anti-gun argument. They believe that the mere availability of alcohol leads to drunken driving. Just like gun grabbers believe the availability of legal firearms leads to gun crime.

Both are retards.

MADD can’t pack up and go home – there’s too much money in neo-prohibitionism.

No charity/nonprofit ever goes away after their goals are accomplished. MADD accomplished their worthy goals a decade ago and have now become the new prohibitionists instead of folding as they should have. Their new cause is the reinstatement of the 18th amendment (abolish the 21st?).

Drunks Against Mad Mothers

Ten years ago (or so) a few of us made up DAMM shirts borrowing the MADD logo you see on bumper stickers. Let’s just say that shirt generated some very one-sided conversations from more than a couple of those “mad mothers.” Some people just have no sense of humor.

$100 of free alcohol, huh? They have a captive audience and the only bar. Somehow I don’t think the cocktails and shots of whiskey come cheap. It’s fairly likely that $100 will barely buy two people a buzz.

That being said, it’s none of MADD’s business. MADD’s mission is specific only to drunk drivers. If all of a sudden all drunks concern them, they should just rename themselves the Christian Women’s Temperance Union and get it over with.

Me, I can’t quite get my head around the drive-through liquor establishments in New England.

they are on a power trip.
Look at their latest creation MATT (mothers against tired truckers).
they lobby congress for changes in the Hours Of Service (HOS) regs but all based on junk science from researchers who fall asleep driving home at night, if they even drive!……..
they are power hungry bitches, and not the good kind like ya’ll!

Here, they were opposing a plan to have taxis available at cheap rates on new year’s eve, to take people home … because while that would reduce drunk driving, it might encourage people to drink because they wouldn’t have to worry about driving while drunk!

Craig, I’m trying desperately to come up with something involving MADD HOS, but it may require more coffee.

In the mean time, Ogre/AD, have you any of those shirts left? That could be some good fun!

Ok maybe something these mothers don’t see is what they are going to do to the economy once the change take place. There will be driver shortages because drives won’t like the new rules. This means the product won’t get to its location as fast because the driver will have to take more time, and so than prices of our products go up.
For one I am a mother and I am a wife. I value life just as much as anyone else. but look at what can come from all this.
Look at what you will make happen in our future.
Less drivers to move product,
Customers will pay more to get product shipped to them, so than prices for “us” will go up as well.

Gee think..
It’s not really the laws that need changed they just need to be inforced more by police officals and staff of that nature and the trucking companies as well.
All you are doing is making it harder and more costly for you to have food or other things you may want as prices will go up.
