[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But we've been told repeatedly brains aren't fully developed until something like 25 years old, yet we are going to be lowering the voting age from 18?[/quote] This. There is a general shortage of sensible voters among all age groups, but teens don't yet have any idea which end they're wiping. Voting age should be 25-80. If we limited the vote to people who have mature reasoning skills but haven't yet lost their critical faculties, we would return to more sensible, moderate politics without the extremes plaguing us on both sides.
