No, I do not agree with lowering the limit - but rather
INCREASE the consequences.
I do not…Read More understand the amount of arguing against increasing the consequences people have regarding those who have been convicted of DUIs.
Stricter consequences get repeat offenders off the road - not lowering the limit.

NO. The high profile cases/crashes in the story would not have been prevented by having a lower…Read More test figure. Those with previous DUI's should have had devices in their car at the FIRST DUI. Putting devices in all cars is the most rediculous idea ever. Thats like saying all persons twenty one and over should spend at least one year in jail cause they might do something wrong. There are already air bottles capable of blowing into a device!

I agree with you James Banks, driving drunk is not a good thing and should be penalized, but the DUI…Read More laws are mostly a political witch hunt, private companies are also making millions on it off of classes people are forced to attend,AA meetings,because someone stopped for a beer, does not make them an alcoholic, also if people are suspected, but not convicted of a DUI they should have their driving privileges reinstated immediately at no cost to them, instead of still loosing their driving privileges for 2 years, at which the insurance companies make a killing off of SR22's, I have had many times someone talking on a cell phone has almost killed me though,its supposed to be against the law now, but it is not enforced at all.

You mention" Paper bags and reusable cotton bags have a greater impact on water quality than…Read More plastic bags. Fertilizers used to grow trees for paper and cotton are washed into streams and rivers, depleting oxygen and creating “dead zones.”" but forget to state the benefit that trees have and that is absorbing the CO2 out of our atmosphere and releasing O2 instead!

Sorry. To be more clear. Who funds you at Washington Policy Center? I'm well aware of where NOAA and…Read More universities get their funding. I also read the entirety of all of your helpful links and not a single one was intending to downplay the threat of plastic in the ecosystem. It was simply good science intended to quantify the nature of the garbage patch, but not a single quote there saying, "Nope, no problems here. Plastic is great!" In fact, all agreed that decreasing the amount of plastic in the first-place as opposed to going out after to clean it up is the way to go. And banning plastic bags would help accomplish that and would be a good first step. So is buying less packaging materials, and replacing single use water bottles with reusable metal ones. I would guess you are against banning plastic water bottles too.
