First of all, even if I am not in a car with an impaired driver, there are chances another car may have an impaired driver. That car might crash into mine, and cause me serious injuries or even kill me. To reduce incidents like this, I believe drinking and driving has to come to an end.

The United States Government is frequently criticized due to its lack of action regarding pressing issues. This frequently leads to the creation of political cartoons that aim to assert this criticism. However, this general attitude towards our government may be slightly misguided.

The ideal state in both Daoist, and Mohist thought operate in such a way that they are highly similar, not so much as explicit structure, but more so in the underlying roots of legitimacy, the basis of laws, and the role of the state to bring order.
