This is actually very true

Funny Law

I am doing some research on what kind of implied consent warnings police officers are required to give to a person arrested for a DUI before the drunk driver submits to a breathalyser test. Basically, the law does not require that you be smart in making your decision, just that you have an opportunity to choose between taking the test and refusing. In fact, consciousness is the minimum requirement for determining your capability to reason. This is what the law says:

While the implied consent law requires that a motor vehicle operator suspected of being intoxicated be given an opportunity to make an intelligent choice as to taking or refusing a chemical test of his breath, there is no requirement as to such a person's capability of reasoning, so long as he is conscious. State Dept. of Motor Vehicles v. Riba (1974) 10 Wash.App. 857, 520 P.2d 942.

I thought that was pretty funny, and it is good for my argument.

Good Reading

I have been following baseball this year. At about the same time that the Mariners went downhill, the Colorado Rockies took off. Not only am I rooting for them because I am from Colorado, but they are really a joy to watch. Without a doubt, the Red Sox are going to be a tough team to beat, but there is a sense of destiny attached to the Rockies season, and who doesn't like an underdog. This is an interesting article on the Rockies and how the coaches have sought out players who were not only good but had exhibited strong moral character. Maybe that is why when I watch the Red Sox, it feels like I am watching a collection of really good players, but when I watch the Rockies, it feels like I am watching a really good team.

This article is just funny, although tragically so: 6 Drunk Elephants electrocute Themselves.
