Fuck You, Copper!

That's all we can say about the fact that Texas law enforcement are now engaged in a concerted crackdown on public intoxication. They've decided that the historic focus on preventing people from actually committing crimes that endanger others -- say, by driving while trashed -- is inefficient, and thus a problem.

The solution? Arrest people from being drunk in bars. 2200 Texans have been arrested thus far, and we're tempted to compose a long analysis about the diminishing sovereignty of the individual and the rise of state power to protect us from ourselves. But it's just too tiring and tiresome.
