I wonder what it will take for people in this country to rise up. This women was intimidated into submitting to a breathalyzer during her lunch hour, in America the "land of the free". If that doesn't get every Americans blood boiling then I don't know what will.

Then we get a post detailing how driving is a privilege and how we all get pulled over at roadblocks ALL the time. Nothing to see here NO siree give some blood and urine and move along.

Funny that I'm 45 years old and never once have I been stopped at a roadblock for any reason, but they happen ALL THE TIME hey.

Or so I've been told.
