Barely Legal

I just heard about this on NPR-

http://www.amethystinitiative.org/

The Amethyst Initiative was started by the former president of Middlebury. The organization's goal is to lower the drinking age in the U.S. to 18.

I don't know too many people who think you should be able to vote and die for your country but not buy a beer. The federal government has been pushing the states around for decades by threatening to withhold critical highway funding if they resist the 21 year-old drinking age.

I was pretty psyched to see Tufts president, Larry Bacow, on the list of signatories.
