Big Brother

Woe is me, I am in a bit of, well, a pickle. There is apparently an opinion out and about (and in my inbox) that anyone under the age of 19 can't make decisions for themselves.  That if I say something, they will take it as fact and probably become martyrs for the gospel of Will Shakespeare.

However, I have faith in this new and blossoming generation and as a testament of my appreciation and respect for their mental capabilities I will now list all the things they can legally do as 18-year-olds:

1. Drive cars= this was sixteen in some places, but see? operating heavy machinery... more complex than reading a blog and making up your own mind?  I think so.

2. Buy cigarettes = c'mon kids, all the cool people are doing it!

3. Buy pot = just kidding

4. Get a credit card = please don't though, for real, bad choice, you're too young... JUST KIDDING, you're not! You're 18!

5. Take out a Loan = not all of us pay for our tuition and for those that don't, we get sally mae or my rich uncle to help us out.

6. Buy booze = At BADA

7. Buy porn/look at porn/be in porn = personal choice... wait... choice? can they make those? is this America? YES, it IS

8. Join the Army = this can be described as a big deal... yes?

9. Have sex with 40-year-olds = yep, they're legally able to sleep with the oldest people they know... if they want to... which they don't... (dating seniors is cool)

10. Choose what blog they're going to read and whether they believe it = Just because Sarah Palin says she'll be a good Vice President does NOT mean I believe her.

I have faith that the incoming freshmen, like the other students at this fine institution, have the mental and emotional capacity to hear more than one opinion and decide for themselves which they want to believe (if they believe any... theater majors "act" a lot).  If any person feels that he or she is being too inundated with slanted information, he or she may send an e-mail to me or leave a comment that says "help me help me I'm dumb"

I trust that you're not dumb.  

So,

Continue to...

Pref this blog first,

TI
