hmmmm.... interesting responses. Age of consent is fine with me at 16. I think 12 is waaaaay too young. Have you guys MET twelve year old girls? They don't have a clue.
The only thing I'd change, really, is the drinking age. And I wouldn't change it so much as add some extras for the younger crowd: you should be able to drink at 16 with permission from (and presence of) a parent. You can drink at 18, but with restrictions-- not in a bar at all, but in a restaurant until a certain time. Midnight, we'll say. Kind of like a "learner's permit," but for drinking.
Actually, now that I think about it, I'd be okay with raising the driving age to 17.
