That argument would be more believable if the public roads weren't built and maintained with tax dollars.
This is a fallacy that most people have been brainwashed to accept on faith. What is so special about driving a car? Is the act of traveling a privilege? It is just a way for people to travel. Maybe it's all about the price of a car that only the "priviliged" can afford?
What about riding a horse or bicycle? Is walking a privilege too?
I have dealt with drunk drivers for years. I now volunteer with DWI Tracker to help get them off the road. In my personal opinion if a person exercises his right to refuse a FST and breath test, the state of Texas should exercise it's right to permanently revoke your drivers license.

In my personal opinion... if a police officer does a FST and the person is later acquitted at trial, the state of Texas should exercise it's right to permanently revoke the officer's TCLEOSE certification.
I kind of like the whole bill of rights...including the 2nd AND 5th amendments.

I am partial to the first amendment, it gives us the right to agree to disagree. I appreciate the men and women who have sacrificed so much to give you and I that right as well as the others we enjoy.
