Should a getting CS be allowed to Vote? Should ren who are still under a support order be allowed to vote?Came across this and it presented an interesting suggestion.If a is still considered a after the age of 18, and is receiving support up to the age of 22, depending on the state, are they than not considered adult enough to have the right to vote?I'm making no suggestion here, just throwing this out for discussion and views.

While the legal age of adulthood may be 18 I have yet to meet an 18 year old adult. But on the voting issue - in a sweeping generalization, since the middle population is so ambivalent about voting and the elderly population wants to maintain the status quo, we have to count on the young to institute change.

So you are saying that we depend on the least experienced to direct our future? Perhaps the elderly know something others don't. Something to think about.

its ed a new generation

That's sort of the point. The new generation has not been around long enough to gain the experience that those who have lived longer have amassed. New does not mean wiser. In fact, it often means the opposite. Yes, I've been both places. That's how I know.

are you sounding a little like

Thankfully, yes. He is a very wise man. As I have grown and matured, I realized his wisdom more and more. Even now, I him for advice. The older I get the more I value his wisdom from over 80 years. He is very gracious to share it--and gracious about how he shares. I pay very close attention so that I can learn from him. There is no amount of gold I would take for the wisdom I have gained from him. The more you learn, the more you realize you do not know. The wiser you become, the more you value the wisdom of those who have lived long enough to become even more wise. He truly is leaving some water for another time.

eventually

I hold on to that hope.
