First of all I take offense to being called an "oxymoron" and a "nutjob". Evidently the truth hurts. I will not refrain from my stand that 'college aged children' should not be allowed to consume alcohol. A child goes to school and college to learn. However drinking something that dulls the mind and destroys brain cells is not conducive to learning.

By raising the drinking age, continuing to lower the BAC, stifle alcohol's availability we can not only save lives, but families. The faces of alcohols destructive powers are not only the faces of dead children on the highways, but the faces of children from broken homes. Homes broken by alcohol abuse. Getting a drunk off the highway who has only drank one beer may get him to realize he has a drinking problem. May save him and those who love him.

KEEP UP THE FAITH BROTHER. GOD'S CHILDREN ARE CALLED WORSE NAMES THAN THESE BY SATANS CULTS. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ARE ONE OF THESE CULTS. ANYTHING TO KEEP BOOZE AWAY FROM OUR KIDS AS WELL AS SOME GROWNUP KIDS IS ALRIGHT BY ME AND THE LORD. THE LORD HAS NO USE FOR BOOZE.

AMEN BROTHER

Erm.. my apologies if you misunderstood me. I wasnt calling you an 'oxymoron' .. rather, I was referring to the phrase 'college aged children' .. which IS an oxymoron because quite simply, people in college are not children. They are adults. And as one of those said college aged adults, I really can decide for myself whether or not to drink without people like you trying to legislate the choice for me.
