Amazing how crossing a date line matures a person and makes them a full
grown responsible wise adult.

And there lies the paradox, turning that magic age does not make
instantly that mature adult. Legally yes, but not wisdom wise.

After all you can vote before you can drink, I find that a little
disturbing.

Look Platt, I agree with you about freedom of choice and free market. 
Some laws have to be on the books to protect us all.

But how do you go about stopping the Ana nicole smith story of making the
headlines. No I am not asking for censorship, but enough already of this
celebrity gossip BS.

The masses want it. and the media is dishing it out. Free market at work.
So who is to dictate the morality on such stuff.
