Booooooooooooze

Well here I am again on Sunday night, thinking about what to post on.... My schedule is getting really crazy lately and I have had made very little time for the internet beyond basic communication. The fact that earlier this week I witnessed my seven thousand, six hundred and sixty fifth day on this planet and can thus go out and poison myself properly might have something to do with this.

The fact that the US Government makes so many businesses wait to make money off dumb kids with too much spending cash boggles the mind. According to Wikipedia, the USA is joined by a very few nations including Tunisia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ukraine, who make the youth wait past 18 years of age - you know, the age where they can get drafted to go murder people...


Similar to the speed limit, the drinking age is only where it stands right now because the federal government has told all the states that they must use the standards of 55 mph and 21 years old or they won't get federal funding to fix their roads.

Similar to the War on Drugs, the War on Drunken College Freshmen has the singular effect of sending the death-from-misuse rate through the roof. Anyone who seriously thinks that instilling the fear of punishment on an 18 year old instead of providing a safe environment for experimentation needs to learn about positive reinforcement vs punishment and have a drink.
