I didn't even notice voting age was being discussed here! A terrific friend of mine brought it to my attention tonight and I had NO clue what she was talking about! I thought I'd come and check it out. lol.

I'm 19. In some ways I feel much younger, and in some ways I feel much older.

Jay, lets say you walk into a building to vote. The kid in front of you has his hair dyed black and its all in his face and everything... He is wearing this chain around his neck with a skull charm on it. He is wearing a black shirt with a picture of Eric Cartman from South park on it. He is wearing black wristbands of Linkin Park and Evanescence and has written and drawn a ton of stuff all over his arms and hands. He is wearing baggy black jeans with chains hanging from them and black boots. Would you feel at all worried that this kid was actually VOTING?

That kid would be me. LOL. I can only think of a very small handful of people that know as much about America, its system, its politics, its society, its government, its constitution, and the order of persuasion, force, and freedom, as me. Half of them are here. LOL. That may sound cocky, but I truley believe it, or else I wouldn't say it. Age has nothing to do with anything. If the voting age was 5 instead of 18, the country would be exactly the same... a wreck. If you go by age, than NO ONE should be voting.
