KIND OF OBVIOUS

RE: YOUR addition to a Letter to the Editor by Chris Buors (Aug. 17) that 
read: "(Excellent letter. But we fail to follow the logic of your final 
argument. For instance, 'if impaired driving is so dangerous, why do we 
need legislation....' Kind of obvious, we thought.)"

But wait. Do we outlaw alcohol because people drive drunk? No, we outlaw 
drunk driving. So why would we outlaw drugs if people drive under the 
influence of them? So, I fail to follow your logic of your final argument.

(It's hard to make a full and reasoned argument in one short quip.)
