Lowering the drinking age in the US?

Not really too much of a big deal. Your going to be exposed to it either way.

Although i'm pretty sure its going to have a negative impact on youth.

Yeah, I don't think so, heh.  Still kinda cool, though.

Absolutely no chance until all the old hardasses in Washington either die off or are replaced by younger people.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

At what point is it "out of hand" though? If you legalize marijuana, why not legalize cocaine or other harmful drugs?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yes, because inhaling smoke into your lungs isn't harmful at all...

Not to back up crazed or anything, but "Because pot isn't harmful like cocaine" != "Because pot isn't harmful."
