I also feel that young people want to find out more information from different sources and not just reading one newspaper and taking that as a complete truth.
I disagree. Young people tend to reflect most, if not all, of the same political views as their parents. Kids look up to their parents for the most part. (I know, some people grow up in fucked up environments) And it only makes sense that they would grow up hearing their parent's views on politics and such. Kids are still naive, and people way older are too, so I don't doubt that they would probably get their news from a constant source and believe in that one absolute truth.
As much as I would like to see the drinking age lowered, being one of those that would benefit from it, simultaneously granting the gifts of driving and beer/wine to 16 year olds doesn't sound even the least bit intelligent. I'm not saying all of them are going to drink and drive, but the stupid ones would be a lot easier to identify.

Once that novelty wore off though I think it would even out.
I think that sounds like a pretty logical outcome, but I still remain skeptical on how long it might take for our culture to change the mindset on over-indulgence. I suppose it could be possible for the country to handle a change like that, but now is not the right time for it.
