		<description>What good does it do not to drink and drive if they&#039;re still going to be punished anyway because the government punishes innocent people just for being under 21? This blatantly unjust law does not make them any safer: Just see the page linked from this comment (Click on my name above)</description>

		<description>International borders are a little different because if you drive drunk back to the United States, you know you will be stopped at the border crossing. If the agent smells alcohol on your breath then the police will be called, which is a little different from people simply driving from State to State to drink and drive home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Click the link on this post and see what good the current law does.</description>

		<description>Are you really preventing blood borders if us citizens are still dying driving to Canada and Mexico atleast 1500 a year so stop committing prejury and murder.  Find out what blood borders really are and finally with freedom let these &quot;drinking age refugees&quot;  drink again in the United States.</description>

		<description>State Legislators&#039; Message To Underage Drinkers:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- To prevent blood borders, the drinking age in every State has to be 21, because that&#039;s the only integer that is equal to itself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- A new scientific study published in the New England Journal of Medicine conclusively establishes that the politicians you voted against have a right to impose this law on you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Statistical analysis of historical crash data proves that the United States of America ought not to be a free country, with liberty and justice for all, where the citizen decides what to drink, where parents govern their child who still lives in their house, where the punishment for drunk driving is meted out to the drunk drivers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Freeways are more important than freedom, -- especially when it&#039;s your freedom, not ours -- so we sold your freedom to get more highway construction money from Congress, (like a mother selling her daughter for cocaine money,) and we still expect you to respect this law.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Drinking alcohol during pregnancy harms the baby, so we impose Prohibition on men under 21 and not on pregnant women 21 and older.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- The drinking age saves lives. Of course, we could save a lot more lives, maybe yours, by doing what it takes to eliminate drunk driving, but that would involve giving up driving drunk ourselves, and that&#039;s not fair because we can drive better drunk than teenagers can sober.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- A combination of driving inexperience and alcohol make you a greater danger on the road, whether you drive or not, and that gives us the right to punish you when you drink alcohol, whether you drive or not.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Don&#039;t drive drunk? We can list some other crimes you never commit, as an excuse to deny liberty to you: murder, rape, assault...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Everybody who drinks under age is immature and irresponsible because they&#039;re doing something that is illegal, as well it should be, because they&#039;re so immature and irresponsible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Liquor corporations have the nerve to advertise their products to you, and we have more respect for their First Amendment right to free speech than we have for your God-given right to drink the beverage of your choice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- We can&#039;t stop older drunks from freely exercising their right to practice alcoholism, because they hold too much political power, but some of them started as teenagers and never had a chance to quit since then, so we punish you instead.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- You shouldn&#039;t destroy your brain while it is only 95 percent developed. You should wait until it is completely developed and then destroy it, like we did.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- Even though this law is imposed on you by morons who cannot see the obvious flaws in these absurd arguments, it is embellished with a fancy seal, and a Governor years ago scribbled his autograph on it, so you have a sacred duty to obey it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Translated by Tom Alciere&lt;br&gt;Webmaster, Underage Drinkers Against Drunk Driving</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>State Legislators&#39; Message To Underage Drinkers:</p>
<p>&#8211; To prevent blood borders, the drinking age in every State has to be 21, because that&#39;s the only integer that is equal to itself.</p>
<p>&#8211; A new scientific study published in the New England Journal of Medicine conclusively establishes that the politicians you voted against have a right to impose this law on you.</p>
<p>&#8211; Statistical analysis of historical crash data proves that the United States of America ought not to be a free country, with liberty and justice for all, where the citizen decides what to drink, where parents govern their child who still lives in their house, where the punishment for drunk driving is meted out to the drunk drivers.</p>
<p>&#8211; Freeways are more important than freedom, &#8212; especially when it&#39;s your freedom, not ours &#8212; so we sold your freedom to get more highway construction money from Congress, (like a mother selling her daughter for cocaine money,) and we still expect you to respect this law.</p>
<p>&#8211; Drinking alcohol during pregnancy harms the baby, so we impose Prohibition on men under 21 and not on pregnant women 21 and older.</p>
<p>&#8211; The drinking age saves lives. Of course, we could save a lot more lives, maybe yours, by doing what it takes to eliminate drunk driving, but that would involve giving up driving drunk ourselves, and that&#39;s not fair because we can drive better drunk than teenagers can sober.</p>
<p>&#8211; A combination of driving inexperience and alcohol make you a greater danger on the road, whether you drive or not, and that gives us the right to punish you when you drink alcohol, whether you drive or not.</p>
<p>&#8211; Don&#39;t drive drunk? We can list some other crimes you never commit, as an excuse to deny liberty to you: murder, rape, assault&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; Everybody who drinks under age is immature and irresponsible because they&#39;re doing something that is illegal, as well it should be, because they&#39;re so immature and irresponsible.</p>
<p>&#8211; Liquor corporations have the nerve to advertise their products to you, and we have more respect for their First Amendment right to free speech than we have for your God-given right to drink the beverage of your choice.</p>
<p>&#8211; We can&#39;t stop older drunks from freely exercising their right to practice alcoholism, because they hold too much political power, but some of them started as teenagers and never had a chance to quit since then, so we punish you instead.</p>
<p>&#8211; You shouldn&#39;t destroy your brain while it is only 95 percent developed. You should wait until it is completely developed and then destroy it, like we did.</p>
<p>&#8211; Even though this law is imposed on you by morons who cannot see the obvious flaws in these absurd arguments, it is embellished with a fancy seal, and a Governor years ago scribbled his autograph on it, so you have a sacred duty to obey it.</p>
