> Yes, I would rather be mugged and have someone take $20 from my wallet than have someone take my entire retirement. It's funny because I would make the exact opposite choice than you. Of course it isn't about just losing a $20 from my wallet, its about having a gun put on you. I'd rather lose my retirement than have anyone I know be robbed at gunpoint. And I believe there are a lot of people agree with me which is why the law is like that in Texas.

The law is not like that in texas because people are concerned with the risk of injury or death. If it were there would be a much harsher penalty for a first time DWI than: "After your first DWI offense in Texas, you may be fined up to $2,000 and spend between three and 180 days in jail." These differences in penalties are not due a rational fear of the associated risks.
