I read about this awhile back. I never dreamed it would pass this far. I'm convinced California is going to collapse under the weight of its own stupidity and serve as a wakeup call for the rest of the country.

I'm sure they will collapse under the weight of their own stupidity. But I'm also sure that if this gets any further, that Schwarzenegger will veto it, and that the rest of the country will be laughing at them for even considering it. Except for the libs, of course.

I appreciate the concern of a runaway train here but feel this idea of children 14+ getting fractioned vote has potential.

Do we adults pay attention to teenage issues? I do not recall any too many skateparks with signs "no skateboarding allowed" on school grounds and parks.

I had the privilege to travel and see different parts of the country and the world as a teenager, including one semester at LA public in mid 90s.

LA had a dismal approach to organized teenage sports when I was there. It was absent at junior-high level, and at high school it resembled college level competition/selection.

Average class was about 30 kids. Largest was about double that and held in an auditorium.

Another point: Are teenagers represented in current issues? Are the Media giants having their rights violated, and pornography falling into the wrong hands the only sides to the p2p story?

Third point: Adult population reacts plenty to commercial glitter, so why the thoughts that adding kids to the voting public would spoil this gene pool?

Those who don't fail are those who don't do anything.
I feel its worth a vote. If it passes and helps our society, good. No, then we learn our lesson and move on.

Why not seven year olds with one/tenth of a vote? I've got a better idea. Anyone stupid enough to support this idea, from a state leadership position should lose their right to vote, and hold office.

Collapse? Yes. In fact, I don't know why it hasn't happened yet. A wake up call? No way. Never happen. Things are way too far gone for that.
