The biggest issue I have with this country (US) is that we can't seem to decide when someone is an "adult". Where I live you have to be 19 to buy cigarettes, 18 to vote, 17 to drive, 21 to buy alcohol, 18 to enlist in the army. Why is it all over the place? It drives me crazy. Basically you are asking people to vote on very serious issues concerning the welfare of the rest of the country, but you don't trust them enough to make decisions for themselves like buying cigarettes? You can be a war veteran at 18 but not be able to walk into a bar and buy yourself a drink? What?
