Government Bad

I was driving down Old Oak Ridge Rd past the Lowe's Foods on Memorial Day to go to a cookout at my parent's house. I came up on one of those DWI checkpoints (or license checkpoints or gestapo checkpoint depending on your point of view). I think these things are ridiculous and unAmerican, but that wasn't why I'm blogging about it. I bring it up b/c it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I know it was a holiday and beer was on sale at every grocery store in town, but 3pm? That seems pretty ridiculous.
