minimum legal ages

[Rachel Bray]

My thought about having to be 21 to drink in the US is 
this:

If I am allowed to drive a car at 16 (15 1/2 actually, 
counting driver's education classes) and I can vote when 
I'm 18 AND go to war in my country's military when I'm 18,  
then I should be allowed to drink much earlier than 21.

But that's just me.

I remember when I went to Europe for the summer of 88 I was 
thrilled to be able to drink (I was 18), though I did very 
little (except in Munich...it was the 4th of July and we 
had to celebrate it somehow!  No fireworks....).

For America means a bit more than tall towers, 
It means more than wealth or political powers, 
It's more than our enemies ever could guess, 
So may God bless America! Bless us! God bless!
