SL Trib: A Reason to Fight

Interesting background information in re Senator Waddoups' recent anti-booze crusades

Eye-opening story in this morning's Salt Lake Tribune, which goes a long way in explaining Senator Waddoups' recent anti-booze crusades, including his most recent, but now aborted effort to enact legislation mandating a government operated "Sinner's Central Database":
A reason to fight
Great responsive comment from one SLTrib reader, in the comments section beneath the above-linked story:
I can understand how the Waddoups family would want justice served, but punishing everyone who drinks alcohol in a serch for justice against this piece of white trash (Oroszi) is the wrong way to do it.
Mike, would you punish all gun owners for one person using a gun in a crime? No, You wouldn't. I know it, and you know it.
Punishing responsible drinkers for what this guy did to your wife is the wrong way to go about it, and it is an abuse of power.
Fix the problem of police departments not having up to date information sharing. That would do more to advance justice in your wifes case, and you might actaully be respected instead of reviled...
Nice to have it all put into perspective, we believe.
