I don't deny that, in fact I agree with you.

Hmmm.  I never had any (that I will admit to or will admit to having
me as a parent).  Can I get a refund???

IMO the *first* DUI conviction should be not less than six months
in jail; if there's a second conviction a year in jail.  If the idiot 
still hasn't received the message and gets a third conviction, we
put him (or her) in a cell and weld the door shut.

That said, sometimes the DUI laws are over-enforced - like arresting
and convicting somebody for driving a riding lawn mower while under
the influence; or arresting and convicting somebody for driving under
the influence when he's doing it on his own private property and *not*
on or even near the public roads.
