I'm old enough to go fight a war, pay 200 dollars in taxes on my last pay check, and get the death sentence, but because I'm under 21, I'm not old enough to buy a glass of beer. Now (or this year) Reagan is trying to force ALL states to raise the minimum drinking age to 21 do to pressure from special interest groups like MADD. Its true that a major portion of drunk driving accidents come for 23 year and younger folk but how can we put up with these types of double standards? Bob Crane tektronix!tektools!bobc
