MADD’s agenda shift

…from a former mission of fighting drunk driving to a new mission of just fighting drinking, even when no one is attempting to drive a car, is among topics that “deserve a closer look but won’t get it” in the media, according to Glenn Reynolds (Aug. 15). Lawrence Taylor’s DUI Blog has more (Aug. 10), as does Radley Balko, who charges (Aug. 15) that “not only has MADD’s mission changed from keeping the roads safe to preventing consumption of alcohol, they’ll support a position that cuts down on the latter even when it increases the likelihood of drunk driving fatalities.” See also Jun. 17.
