Talk to google for about five minutes.
State laws in Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, South Dakota, and Texas allow for parents to give their underage children alcoholic beverages.
Here rives... this is actually funny to me as you've said you read every word I wrote in that thread... but anyway:
The fact that I have read the whole thread in no way means that I have committed your drivel to memory. In my view at least, "buying" your children alcohol connotes something entirely different than allowing them some wine at dinner.
Once again... It is LEGAL for parents to buy their children alcohol in some states.
So responsible parents doing what they feel is right should be illegal.
That's the antithesis of Prop 19 isn't it?
Once again... It is LEGAL for parents to buy their children alcohol in some states.
So it's not vote for what you think is right as much as it is vote for what you think will pass?
I'd believe that if you told me so.
I don't recall ever aspiring to have a monopoly on seeing "fucked up shit". However, every time I've ever heard anyone trying to play the "their my property and I can treat them however I want" card, it is related to an abuse situation. My point was that the state has a markedly different view of the situation, and they will prevail. The other element is that these people seldom recognize that it is detrimental to the kids - it's usually how they were raised too, and considered to be just part of growing up.
I have never seen a piece of literature that suggests that alcohol in moderation at a young age, say a glass of wine at dinner from age 12 on is detrimental and we haven't even gotten to the testing time for mj. What I am saying is that we are the people and the government exists to serve as our protectors and it is us who have let them do all these things to us that we don't agree with. It is when we accept mediocrity out of our leaders that our government becomes mediocre.
