10. "I do believe"
IMHO.. As I said I'm not a scholar.

I don't see driving and jobs as signs of adulthood.

Signing a legal contract = adult
Die for country = adult

I am against the 35 year-old age minimum for President AND the 25 year-old age minimum for Congress.

I am against Nevada's minimum of 21 for gambling.

I am against Colorado's minimum of 21 for a full drivers license and age of majority (adulthood).

I consider all of these minimum ages - in fact all age minimums above 18 - perhaps even above 17 - to be intrinsically immoral and discriminatory and a violation of equal protection and therefore unconstitutional.
