  3. To me the most interesting statement in the Drinking Age article was the statement by Dr. Mote “It depends on how quickly people shut down open discussion.”

    Isn’t that the truth with so many of today’s topics. One side of the discussion says the other side is all false and no one tries to find the middle ground – and thus the solution.
