You ask a 19 or 20 year old and many would tell you “I can serve my country and be shot at in Iraq but can’t have a beer in this great country of ours”. I got bad news for you Son, soon you will have to be 21 in order to light up a cigarette. Discrimination? I can vaguely remember when in my State a female age 18 could drink but a male had to be 21. Discrimination? Because I was just short of 21 years of age, my mother had to actually sign for me to get married but my wife, now of over 50 years, who was barely 18 , and just graduated from H.S., could sign for herself. Over the years, we both have laughed about that! I’ve said all that to say this. Now that I’m older, I really don’t feel discriminated against - - I get discounts in many places and since I’m older I feel entitled. Isn’t this a great Country or what?
