You know what's terrible?
The U.S.A. is supposed to be the land of the free, but when foreigners see that in the U.S.
1) There exist the toughest smoking laws in the world
2) Kids under 21 cannot have alcohol while they can be drafted, can vote
3) There is a curfew on minors
4) People don't have the right to set a weed on fire and inhale the smoke.
It really makes it hard to say with a straight face that the U.S. is in fact the land of the free. I'm sick and tired of people walking all over the consitution.

The U.S.A. is supposed to be the land of the free, but when foreigners see that in the U.S. At about the time California was getting ready to ban smoking in bars, I was working there on a contract. When I went outside to smoke, I usually met a Chineese gentleman who had a PhD from Yale, but was an employee of the Chineese government. He was laughing at the smoking ban. He said, that the communist government in China would never even think of doing something like that. They might do a lot of other dumb things, but this would never be one of them.

I agree with you that the artificially high, federally mandated drinking age is a bunch of barbarastreisand, but the last time I looked we didn't have a draft.
