I don't think old people should be able to vote because I don't want their out dated morals affecting my life. This is the only response I have to raising the voting age.
I'm all for re-thinking limits. Any thinking at all is good, in my opinion.
I think the legal age for anything is determined by how well we educate our children. Unfortunately for the US, We do such a bad job at educating our children about sex, drugs and voting that we have to restrict them pretty much as long as possible.
I also agree with Jetee, Once we're "adults" and no longer restricted to the number of hours we're allowed to work and we can fight in wars and vote, why not buy alcohol? It's a stupid restriction.
There's a lot of "I"s in this post..
I don't know about lowering the age of consent though. Teenagers are pretty stupid and easily influenced. Hell, I remember when having a car was the easiest way to pick up girls.
