Increase the drinking age and the demand for fake IDs increases. Decrease it and that demand goes down. I was just raising the point about lowering the drinking age when you stated that Fake Ids are illegal and asked whether there is any question as to whether there aren’t. My point is that people don’t think that fake IDs should be legal rather some believe the drinking age should be lowered.
Kids do make mistakes. But presumably you believe that at least some of those mistakes are beyond family matters and thus are not for families to decide how to handle. My guess is that some people think that fake Ids and drugs are not family matters even though you have stated you do. Could it be they are right? How do we know?
How about speeding? Its illegal. Yet (from my experience driving in a vast majority of the states) is very common. On certain stretches of highway, you are in the minority of you are not speeding. Are parents who speed telling their kids that they don’t agree with the law so it doesn’t apply to them?
