IMHO, those four are one in the same and I still believe the statement is correct. Yes, One person can be used as a basis for the group. Happens all the time in business, politics and world society.
What makes them one in the same?
Numerous intertwined Ideologies.
I understand. Citizenship is a difficult concept to grasp... One person from a group not being born in America makes a statement true for 3 other people because they share the same ideologies. You should loosen up your red hat a bit. It seems to be cutting off circulation to your brain.
Being an American is a difficult concept to grasp. Being a citizen is fairly easy.
Alright, well I think that your ideologies align with these 3 Russians that I once met, so you should to go back to where you came from... Makes perfect sense :thumbs_up:
And you think my ideologies are?
Forget it, man. That wasn't the point. I don't have the patience for this lol
Your point was not lost. If my ideologies lined up with Charles Mason's, can we as a group visit or should we go back where we came from? lol

So all 18 year old smokers need to stock up on 3 years worth in the next 120 days.

Yup, that part concerns me. As much as I think smoking needs to be banned, I think that pulling the rug out from under legally addicted smokers is unfair and probably illegal and could end up undermining the law. Knowingly allowing people to get addicted, and then forcing withdrawal that they might not be able to handle, is probably a crime.

Here is a wonderful article from the NY Times on this.

This I would argue with you about, a person has a choice to start smoking, vaping using chew etc. And they aren't allowed to legally do this until 18 currently 21 in 120 days.
This is no different than changing the drinking age from 18 to 21 however many years ago that happened.

Need an account to read that as well. Says I'm in "private mode".
Here is the original article (from AP):

@Pete-S interesting. . . I certainly don't have an account with NYT. . .

The 'American Pickers' found and fixed Aerosmith's 1970s tour van
Last year, “American Pickers” Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz got a tip about an old 1964 International Harvester Metro van rotting away in the woods on a Massachusetts property that turned out to be the original tour van Aerosmith used in the 1970s, when they were an up-and-coming act.

Maybe the website detects a browser setting like when it tries to save some local data or do location tracking or something.

I believe the people that were already 18 when the drinking age changed to 21 were grandfathered in and were still allowed to buy alcohol. Maybe the same will happen with smoking to prevent what Scott talked about. The article doesn't mention it.

That would make sense, and I'm okay with that.
