[Mr. Silverback]

So, you are in favor of repealing age limits on alcohol purchases, and believe these limits to be examples of government stealing the role of parents?

Do you also favor eliminating the minimum age for a driver’s license?

Yes, I would eliminate age restrictions on alcohol. No I would not remove age restrictions on driver's licenses. There is a big difference between the two. Only one of those scenarios involves allowing the populace at large to be exposed to a juvenile piloting a 1-2 ton death machine.

As an example on the alcohol thing: how many parents might let their kid have a sip of beer at the table? Or a glass of champagne at New Year's? Technically, they are breaking the law, but the idea that government should reach into a family's house and dictate their actions is completely abhorrent to me.
