It’s been explained to me that while, technically,18-year-olds are responsible for their reckless decisions, it is not entirely true due to their still-developing brains.
No. If you are smart enough to get into the University of Minnesota Duluth, chew food with your mouth closed, and drive a car, you can fairly be expected to refrain from damaging life and property and disturbing the peace of your community. If these expectations infringe on your lifestyle, then please stay home until your brain is fully baked.

Letters to the editor are a critical part of the community dialogue, and the News Tribune attempts to publish all letters of opinion meeting our requirements.
Letters are limited to 300 words, must be the original work of the author and must be exclusive to the News Tribune. Letters are edited for style, space, accuracy and civility. Letter writers are limited to one published submission every 30 days.
With rare exceptions, the News Tribune does not publish poetry; letters that are anonymous, libelous, or attack other writers; consumer-complaint letters; thank-you letters or letters generated by political or special-interest campaigns.
We will consider exclusive local view columns of about 600 words or fewer. Authors should possess unique insights, and their commentaries should demonstrate greater knowledge of their subject than letters.
Email submissions to: letters@duluthnewscom.
