Only in America stuff

Hey all 7 readers of my blog,

I was thinking about some things tonight. I was on Facebook, where I got an invitation to an event. This event happens to be at a bar. One thing I've noticed lately is that bars like to charge extra for those under 21, since they won't make as much off of them because they can't purchase alcohol. At first I thought "Well, this is stupid. Is this their way of trying to get those under 21 to not come to their bar and pushing away money?" I only thought that because as a person under the age of 21, I feel that if I have to pay extra just to listen to a band, and the fact that I came to their place of establishment isn't enough for them, then I just won't go there. Then I thought about when I visited Peru over the summer and how their drinking age is significantly lower than America's when I realized that America is the only country that gives a flying (expletive) about the drinking age. I feel that they are trying to hide something or it benefits someone with power in the end. I mean, it is flawed in so many ways. 1. How does it make sense that I can take a 5 hour drive (Need that 5 hour energy to avoid that 2:30 feeling... Anyways) to Canada and drink there, but I can't down here? 2. This one is so played out, but holds so much truth: How is it that an 18 year old can go to war, and come back with a leg and a few fingers missing, but can't have a beer? 3. It is pointless to make the drinking age 21, because access to alcoholic beverages becomes exponentially easier to access when one goes to college. I mean, think about all of the kids that party. There is no way that all of them are 21. There is also no way that the ones who are under 21 are just there without having a beer. (Not saying there aren't, but that's usually not the case). But since I am just a lowly college student and I am not in any way above the law, there's nothing I can do except whine about this like a little (expletive).


Also, America is ungrateful and is the only country in the world that doesn't appreciate Jazz music (Ironic, since it came together in America), but that's another story)
