May I offer one hypocritical societal microcosm. The American legal alcohol consumption age is 21. The American college-universities have strong documentation that alcohol consumption, in general, is a problem and falsification of student-age ID's is compounded on America's campuses. Annually, It is reported that reckless behavior generated by excessive alcohol consumption has increased the incident of property damage, alcohol poisoning and rape.
For years, our nation's colleges have attempted to educate and police college students regarding alcohol; well, not so much anymore! With all due respect to our Judea-Christian founding fathers and the glorious NCAA governing branch..."Money talks, bull s*#t walks." More and more college athletic venues offer beer and wine sales. How about good old SMU? Yep, I remember when Methodist were discouraged dancing, women should keep ankles covered and remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy...don't go to the movies on Sunday! Southern Methodist University students can now drink beer at 'Mustangs' football games. (Note: I am permitted to 'pick' at Methodist, since I've been one all my life? And I shall continue if they continue to cherry-pick values.)
And...how 'bout the NCAA? Those phony-folks make universities discard their Indian mascots because those symbols are seen as demeaning to Native Americans. I wonder if Native Americans would be sold alcohol at SMU football games, after all you know how stupid those 'Redskins' get when sh*t-faced...almost as stupid as our college students
