I know what you are saying. But I am a social conservative Religious Righter, and personally, I just don't have any problem with our nation's current drinking laws. It is not some horrid abridgement of one's freedom and does more good than harm.

I'm more than willing to wager that there are quite a few 20-year-old Republican Christians currently serving stateside in a military branch of our government who would fiercely disagree with you on that point.

It is not some horrid abridgement of one's freedom and does more good than harm.

So, we have levels or degrees of "abridgement of one's freedom"?

This is exactly why our freedom and liberty are in such trouble now - people such as yourself saying "small" encroachments are ok, because you feel it doesn't affect you.
