 How come? Seems natural. They just get effected the way we do? You
know act silly, do silly things like get in a car and try driving
without killing anybody? Or in some cases  beat their wife and
kiddies, black out and then wonder why his wife wants a divorce?
That sort of thing.

 Some people are "allergic" to booze. Those suffering from acute
pancreitis after drinking booze, for example. (I've kin who had this
problem. Can't touch booze at all.)

 Yeah they do that here but there's the stupid SYMBOLISm of '21' ; oh
gee now I can go to a bar and order a drink legally instead of
sneaking around sort of stupidity.

It's like people who think once they hit a certain 'age' number... tht
is somehow a drmatic change (wishfully- for the better)- occurs. lol.


 CH> Really stupid but then OH uh hmm the gene pool COULD use some chlorine...

 BF> It woulf be better do use that chlorine on the law-writers.

 Some of them yeah; the ones who profit from the revenues so don't
want to see the offense totally wiped out of course.

Toodles! Cinders
