Alcohol can actually cause harm though, All those reading related accidents that are clogging up the hospitals are imagination.

Laws are what they are, Roger. They're there for a reason, just like it's against the law to cell cigarettes to those under 18 and alcohol to those under 18 or 21 depending upon the state. I wouldn't advocate allowing 16 year olds to buy alcohol any more than I would advocate allowing childrenunder 18 access to the four books I listed as examples of true adult books.While their parents are still legally liable for their actions, they can't be allowed to purchase alcohol (and potentially harm another person maybe driving while drunk) and I'm sure there are valid reasons for not allowing true adult content for minors as well. I don't think you'd be very successful in repealing those kinds of laws.My point was simply to give true examples of ADULT books, not the books thatare currently getting marked as adult. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html
