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