I'm not sure who the first part of this post was directed at. But while the prosecution of crimes and teenage driving are stickier issues, I really feel that anyone who can go into the military should have the right (and privilege!) to vote. So 18 is a reasonable age, one which the majority of young adults have graduated from high school.There are a few things I'd like to see, though. A requirement before being able to register to vote 1) of passing a rudimentary writing and reading test, 2) a simplified test of what voting in this country represents 3) a basic knowledge of the structure of our government and 4) the acknowledgment that our elected officials are responsible to answer to US and not the other way around.Personally, I think it would be a good and reasonable way to promote some accountability into a process that should require a minimum of critical thinking. It's scary to think what is entrusted into the hands of some absolute, blithering idiots.
