Well it was a figurative form of speech, not allowing them to be purchased Is the same as taking away ones rights to have them.
It is sad when we have come to the point where we have to distinguish between the two, because those rights are being eroded. Now people here are to point of saying that although those in that age group cant buy them, they can still have them, theyre not being taken away at their front door. As if that is some justification.
I dont mean you, Im speaking of those that are fine with us. I understand the distinction you are making.
Now I'll have to wait 4 more years until I can take out the BITCH of a teacher that flunked me; along with her WHOLE class; and anyone else that gets in my way.
