Opinion of MADD

Neo-prohibitionist nanny statist group who support criminalizing poor kids who like to drink = HG

I'm assuming this is a joke...

Anyway, a group that seems to have had its heyday in the 1990s, when drunk driving was a much bigger problem than today, and they did a lot of good at the time. Also an example of how women can use the traditional societal worship of motherhood to advance progressive political causes. FF for both reasons.

Considering I don't want to pay massive fines, or even have my license taken away (this actually can happen to underage drinkers in Mass) just because I drink sometimes, ....no?

Yes, drinking without driving drunk should be decriminalized under the age of 21. If that is what this group supports now, I would oppose that. But they were still a part of a shift in attitudes towards drunk driving that saved thousands of lives in the 1990s. I haven't heard much about them today. It's possible that they have become an example of an institutionalized group that survives solely on its own momentum and has overreached.

"Mothers against x" is pretty much guaranteed to be HO.

I would take the opposite view for precisely the reasons I stated upthread. That said, it's possible they have morphed into a HG since I heard of them last, if they're persecuting Matt from VT here.
