There are now state-by-state laws that require presentation of ID for alcohol purchases up to 27 years old. The legal limit is still 21, but Missouri will card people even if they look older.But 21 year olds, are legally adults. Why can't they buy a beer? I agree, it's wrong to allow children to buy things like alcohol and cigarettes, but aren't you going over the top there?
Surely you're not so dense...
Our soon-to-be-former-senator Talent introduced a bill that was passed requiring over the counter medications that contain pseudoephedrine to be logged and you have to register in a national database to do so. Its supposed to counter the cheap production of methamphetamine. Funny thing, tho, demand for sudafed actually went up in 2006.....Again, I'm a bit baffled. Either something is a prescription drug only, in which case you have a doctor's prescription for it, and it's a controlled substance, or else it's in the same class as aspirin, and anyone can buy it without needing anything.
Are you baffled because you're *trying* to be difficult or because you don't understand the concept of categories? You mention two categories yourself and Dennis told you that the government had recently created a third. That's not confusing at all. If you want to be confused we could discuss drug schedules and such, but that would be off-topic. And, finally, you probably don't need a national ID in the UK because they're tracking your every move via CSTV and facial recognition....and have it tied in with your national health care database and revenue records... ;) _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
