If I can go back to the tolerance rhetoric for a second...
In the grand scheme of things, aren't there some ideologies that are just too ridiculous or worse, too dangerous to allow in civilized society? Doesn't blindly accepting every ideology as they come along devalue the truly great ideas and grant an unwarranted legitimacy to the idiotic? I just don't understand why 'intolerant' is such a bad word sometimes...
As for the law...
Don't we try teenagers for crimes as adults? Some states recognize their right to consensual sex and all states grant 16 year-olds the privilege of driving around without an adult chaperone. Teenagers work (with some restriction depending on state) and taxes are taken out of their paychecks just like every other adult. So, where is the disconnect? Moral arguments aside, isn't there a legal argument to be made here?
