That was also based on federal funding (for... something)... but in the last few years either it was delinked or it didn't matter as most states have higher speed limits.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Wow, I am truly surprised by that.

IIRC, you can join the military at 17.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Ah, ok. Wasn't sure about that.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

You should be able to show a note from home at your local bar as well.

Though, seriously, of course they are two different issues. The 21 age limit is a public safety issue (personally, I'd let the states decide without any federal penalties and want it at 18, regardless).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I'd go with 18 as well (with a "0 tolerance" for new drivers).

Vast majority most like.
Funniest thing I've ever heard was my friend was sitting in the student center at Rutgers as a tour was going around with a bunch of prospective students and their parents and the tour guide told the parents that the fraternities all check ID

Yeah, but they have to deal with the Quebecois, so it balances out.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Of course we let provinces decide.
That would be the reasonable approach.
