[Platt] > For most intents and purposes in the U.S. at age 18. And there lies the paradox, turning that magic age does not make instantly that mature adult. Legally yes, but not wisdom wise. After all you can vote before you can drink, I find that a little disturbing. Look Platt, I agree with you about freedom of choice and free market. Some laws have to be on the books to protect us all. But how do you go about stopping the Ana nicole smith story of making the headlines. No I am not asking for censorship, but enough already of this celebrity gossip BS. The masses want it. and the media is dishing it out. Free market at work. So who is to dictate the morality on such stuff.
