I do think a vast majority of 16/17 year olds would vote for whom their peers teel them to. I don't think many follow politics enough to vote for whom is best. I'm not knocking the kids I just remember what my teen years were like and even though there were a few of us that were political 90% were more interested in having fun.
I think it also throws them into a certain responsibility they may not be ready for.
I agree with BonBon and feel 21 should be the age for everything(including military service), except perhaps driving but even that should be 18, unless the kid has a job.
I truly feel you need a year of work and responsibility under your belt before you can make wordly decisions.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
