"The legal age to purchase alcohol in the Netherlands is 16."

Proving my point that we shouldn't compare different cultures.

"teen abuse of alcohol is double ours"

"Teens everywhere would rather drink than smoke pot. That is a worldwide fact."

But how much more, is my point.

Agreed. America is unique.

"The American heritage was one of individual liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from government. Unfortunately, that heritage has been lost. Americans no longer have the freedom to direct their own lives. Today, it is the government that is "free”, free to do whatever it wants. There is no subject, no issue, no matter that is not subject to legislation."

It's a shame we have lost that great heritage to a Sin War.
