Despite the oft-repeated axiom that kids are growing up earlier than ever, I think moonstrucksould and onetime2 are both right. The right to vote, the need to register for selective service, and the drinking age should all be the same - and if that is decided to be 21, fine by me. I do feel that you should come into your adult responsibilies and rights all at once though. To round off my first sentence, I think many of the people who go straight to college from high school (more and more in the decades since WWII) are also putting off the responsibility of acting like adults. I have noticed that many of the freshmen we serve at school are essentially children - they can't even take care of themselves in our semi-managed environment!
