"Yes, you read that right: [they want to lower the voting age to] 16. At an age when boys are eating boogers and lighting farts, getting more tattoos than the average sailor, and having sex with high school girls. At an age when girls (they're not even close to being 'women') are pondering sex change operations and seeking out abortion services and getting even more tattoos than the average hooker. And these are the unformed humanoids with whom [they] ... want to entrust the nation's future?
"So yes: [change the voting age]. And then restore the status quo ante, to 21."~ Michael Walsh, from his column 'To Save America, Repeal the 26th Amendment'. Hat tip C. Bradley Thompson who "would be okay with moving the age to vote to 25 (don't have a problem with 35, either) unless one has served in the military."

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
