Old enough?

Eighteen to twenty year old citizens are old enough to: drive, get married without permission, have abortions, open businesses, volunteer for the military, go overseas into combat, lead soldiers in combat, operate and manage millions in military equipment, run for office and get elected, and star in pornographic movies ( though in some places, 18 yr olds can't watch themselves in said movies).
But they can't have a beer.


My question: Should the conservative movement back laws enabling our ADULT citizens, younger than 21 years old, to enjoy what all other citizens enjoy?

I say YES! Bring back the 18 year old limit for alcohol. These people are adult citizens whether the nannies like it or not. Every time I hear that "our kids" are in Iraq, Afghanistan, are .....doing whatever is being criticized at the moment, I get fed up. I wasn't a kid at 18. Anyone eligible for the draft is not, by definition, a child.

And just think, we might even get them to vote on it.
