“Wild In The Streets” should be required viewing (demonstrating why the 18-under 21 set should never have been enfranchised, save military members). It’s like the “Idiocracy” of its era.
Well I’m definitely not in favor of granting special civil rights based on military service, I doubt that would be constitutional anyway (equal protection), the age should be the same for all. I would have hated missing 2002, I missed 2000 by 1 year. It would be nice to be free of the drooling 18-21 set though.
I don’t much agree with the drinking age being 21 either, either you are a legal adult or not. They all drink anyway.
This begs the question do we really want to go back to considering 18, 19 and 20 year olds to be minors? If not then they should have all the rights of adulthood. If so then under 21’s shouldn’t be able to marry or join the military either.
