I'm not sure even 18-year olds should be allowed to vote. Just realized that my class and all people my age are turning 18 next year...we're not fit to vote. Obviously I think I am, but hte vast majority are certianly not.

If anything the voting age should be higher. Certianly not lower.

Totally agree. That was because the politicians wanted masses of unninformed voters who have only a limited grasp of the significancy of those policies. Thus the impulse to lower the voting age, to get more sheeple votes.
Thhis is why we should only let people who are over 1/5 of an acre to vote. Grin

Well, I did read an interesting proposal a few years back.  Only people who pay taxes should vote.  The rationale is that you should only have a say if you are paying into the system.

Good idea, but lets further it. No one who recieved any kind of money from the government should be able to vote.
