HARRISBURG -- The political landscape is far different for Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed liquor privatization plan from what it was when then-Gov. Dick Thornburgh started an effort in 1983.

If you're convicted of drunken driving in the United States, should you want to keep driving, a judge sometimes will require that you install an ignition interlock system in your car. Provide a breath sample and the system determines whether your blood is free of alcohol.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving estimates that the average drunken driver climbs behind the wheel impaired 80times before he or she is caught. Such convictions, with their accompanying due process, provide a formal indication of the person's dangerousness that justifies an imposition on liberty.
