[The Wielding Truth]

I've thought that a 16 year old is old enough to drive, and quit school, and even get married in some states. It is not so far fetched that they should be allowed to vote.

Their interest in politics is also high at that age. They have their future constantly in the front of their minds and care deeply at that age about community.

I thought that is was wacky and wondered where that came from, but then I put in into perspective and realized that a younger electorate would probably stop wars. Teens would not be so easily dismissed and cars would probably get better gas mileage.

Obviously,I need to think about this some more,but I have not thrown it out.
