DISQUS

Michele's possible environment:

I think in 1976 the minimum drinking age in MN was 18 years.
1977 19 years.
Prior to MN lowering the age to 18, it was 21.

Wisconsin's age was 18. Winona, MN is just across the Mississippi River from Wisconsin.

Secondary students from Angle Inlet School (Minnesota) take the school bus across a foreign country [Canada] to attend school in Warroad, Minnesota every school day.

If Gus Booth is a delegate for the Republican National Convention it will be interesting if he will vote on any party platforms that not only include church/state issues, but also issues that include border crossings.

[Angle Inlet School has an easy to understand website on how the tip of Minnesota came to be US land. It was negotiated by Ben Franklin, John Jay and two others after the Revolutionary War in a four way treaty.]

Gus Booth may believe that God wants him to address the great moral issues of the day, and perhaps it is so.

Will Angle Inlet students need Passports or the newer passport cards to cross the border each day? Will the State of Minnesota pay for those cards? Are any children, or relatives of children, in the congregation of Gus Booth involved in the daily border crossings?

Will Gus Booth advocate the fencing of the border of Minnesota [USA] and Ontario [Canada] at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in St. Paul?

I hope that Gus Booth can both hear God's calling to discuss great moral issues of the day, and I hope that some day he will be well enough informed that a local, city, county, state, national, inter-national DISCUSSION on border crossings can be one of those great moral issues that he may be able to lead.
