Bill to raise voting age to 16 defeated.
Kind of a bad idea from the start, imo.
One of the major arguments is that 16 year olds tend to have adult responsibilities.
Which may be true, but..
All the laws that protect kids suddenly become fair game. Labor laws, anti-trafficking laws, all of it.
The legislators know this, so they'd never tinker with the status quo.

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
