Drinking age

There is something very alarming about the drinking age in the U.S.. Its high, very high, 21 years old. Now to alot of people that sounds like an ok age, maybe a little high but think it through a little bit. This is basically the government saying they have no trust in out youth. The very people who a few decades from now will be paying their medical costs, putting them in retirement homes and bareing their grandchildren, and most of all running the country. Some of these youths will be the next Bill Gates or Warren Buffets. These people are the people at age eighteen could be trusted with a m16 assualt rifle, high explosives, or even a 30 million dollar aircraft defending our borders but they cannot be trusted with a can of beer. They could drive a car, pay taxes, decide the next president, buy a gun, fly a plane, the list goes on. People don't realize that if drinking is introduced early and RESPONSIBLY there probably would be less drunk driving, and less serious cases of alcohol poisoning. Before I finish this post, there probably will be a new bill on congress to up the age to 25 because of people complaining about the age being at 21. Jeez if only I had two votes.
