Legal age

I was thinking the other day that some enterprising 18-year-old busted for underage drinking may someday take his or her case to court and argue that legal age is not legal age if it doesn’t include the right to drink alcohol. I also I think he or she should prevail.

I don’t think its right to ask our young people to be considered an adult in matters of voting, criminal law, registering for the draft, and so forth but have other rights withheld.

You’re an adult or you’re not an adult. There should be no middle ground.
