Control, control, control. Seems so many people (in "power") hinge their realities on controlling what other people are doing, rather than managing some semblance of control over their own business as a reasonable way to live.

Speaking of drinking ages... Stateline reminds me a bit of my college days in central Texas, where there were "dry" counties and "wet" counties, and on the Interstate between Austin and Dallas, there'd be huge clusters of drive-through liquor barns on the county lines... more evidence that trying to control what people do and don't do is pretty much folly.
