idk... seems like both sides of the argument could be played.
children are immature.
but there's no rationale behind "18 means you're an adult", nor "21 means your a full fledged adult"... the courts in the past few years seem to think that children are mature enough to be tried as adults... many child psychologists say that children know the difference between right and wrong (which i suppose is the "maturity" factor the courts look for) around the age of 10 or so.
don't get me wrong, i don't think children should vote... but i guess when it comes down to it, i don't have a very good reason.
