I personally believe that 17A has been the most destructive thing that has ever happened to the Republic. Close second place goes to 19A.

I think the 16th is the biggest stinker but who am I to say.

Aye, aye on the nineteenth, there was a time when I would have said that repealing it was an insane idea but now that we see the results of the woman’s vote so clearly I am convinced the founders knew what they were doing. At the least we should raise the voting age to 21, preferably 25 and limit the vote to people who PAY taxes rather than living off those who do. Of course none of this is going to happen and without it any other amendments are just foolish grandstanding. Lowering the voting age to 18 was absurd, the only bright spot is that most don’t vote at that age anyway. The modern forty year old is probably less mature than the average fourteen year old was when this country was founded but we lowered the voting age as if the opposite were true.
