Fair enough.

Don't get the wrong impression though. I am definitely a "more police presence" kind of guy, especially on our streets and roadways. More street and roadway surveillance too, as far as that goes. 46% of Americans admit to drinking and driving, and my guess is that it is higher than that here in The Villages. That fact coupled with the unfortunate eventuality that a person's physical abilities regarding driving diminish with age whether that person is drinking or not, and you have a very serious issue.
