Is it me or should we not legalize the consumption of alcohol for eighteen year olds?
Didn't it really start to fall apart in the 80's under Uncle Ronnie when they raised the drinking age back to 21 across the US under the threat to withhold Federal Highway dollars? ( similiar to slave holding, another story)
Don't all Americans have the opportunity and choice to get killed overseas, vote and sign a contracts, get married, even star in a porn film and can't enjoy a glass of wine, a mug of beer or a cocktail?
Along with that... let's have the adults and the parents and the mentors show the the young folk, the newbe's... how to have a great time with some spirits, possibly liquor and some beer.
Make it OK to introduce teens, while growing up, to a glass of wine or beer or two... around a gathering, special event or milestone. A safe place to enjoy self and family and friends. Enjoy the "buzz" without a need to impress and binge and get all crazy or sick and dangerous.
It's OK to Celebrate!!! It's OK to change our mood and get happy! It's not OK to hurt yourself or someone else or destroy property that is not your own. Unless of course you are in your own house and by yourself.
Well... hmmm... except maybe for at least one or two spots outside of Kinnick 5 or 6 Saturday's in the fall.
Point being... Magic Bus... the old Olive Court, or the next hot spot to get completely out of control, **** faced, and irresponsible..
We all need let loose, have some way to let go and forget about reality, what we call life.... albiet with some responsibility, because many of us have nothing else. Let the others ***** about those who party and celebrate and lose it and/or the powers' to be need to try and eradicate it. It's just the way it is.
Did I mention that we should also legalize marijuana (and hemp) so that everyone could be a bit more mellow, healthy and wholesome? The economy would get a kick start (God forbid) and farmers, clothiers, paper manufacturers, medicinal's ... the list goes on and on.... what a huge boost in in GDP, jobs and income... let alone all of us consumers would have some more choices?
Sorry to have changed the subject (is this called a hijack, a flame or trolling?) but what about HAWKEYES HOPEFUL for HEMP!!!
Haa Haa Haa
I personally know three chronic pot smokers (wake and bakers) and several others that like to hit the pipe on a fairly regular occasion. Not one of them is healthy, mellow nor wholesome.
