Well now, isn't it interesting that you rarely see "underage drinkers"
buying groceries. And isn't it rather demeaning to all Minnesotans that
Iowa, Illinois, and many other states feel that checking ID's at grocery
stores really isn't anything new. If you buy a lighter, a can of spray
paint, or some household glues from the sell-everything type stores, they
check ID's. Finally, are the opponents saying that Minnesota is not smart
enough to set up systems like all the other states, when we already check
ID's for mouthwash for crying out loud!
