Interviews are fun!

Interviewing people is hard to do, and yet, it is pretty easy.  The first thing I realized when walking up to random people and asking them questions is that they give you a funny look.  I seriously walked up to a girl and said, "Hi.  I need to ask some random people some questions," and she really looked ready to get up and walk away.  However, I was able to stop her by saying, "It will only take a few moments."  I had to ask them about lowering the drinking age, and on a college campus, no one should be surprised that every single person I asked was in favor of it.  It made me feel like I walked around for no reason, because every statement they told me matched articles I read about the subject.  I was honestly looking for some opposition, but received none.  I even asked an older lady, who seemed to be old enough to be a mother, and she told me, "I'm not really against it, but it has to be reinforced."  I was shocked because what mother is for drinking alcohol, especially those who are old (young?) enough to be in college.  She wouldn't even tell me her real age.  All she responded was, "Class of '81."  So it seems that there are a lot of people ready to make this happen.  I'm not convinced, though.
