Actually, I think it should be 21.  I have a daughter that will turn 18 in December and she doesn't graduate from high school until June 2007. If she decided to quit school next year there would be nothing I could do legally to stop her. As for voting I really don't believe that at 18 any teenager is ready to make a decision who should or should not be in office. I am 50 and I don't know these answers either!!  No teenager at 18 is ready to be on there own and they still need the guidance of a parent to get them prepared for adulthood. At 18 a teenager is just starting to get a glimpse at what being an adult is and I truly feel as though they need a few more years of adult supervision to hopefully guide them in the right direction and ease the transition into adulthood a little easier and less painful.\nNow adays it seems like everyone is so concerned about sending our kids to college when years ago our great grandparents and our grandparents could make an honest living not even finishing high school. My parents learned more in elementary school than I did in High School. Times have changed and it is not for the best. We are raising a bunch of irresponsible, lazy group of teenagers. They have no idea what it's going to be like on their own. I am not saying that all teenagers are this way, but I would have to say the majority of them are. When I was 16 and got my license I paid for my own car, the insurance, the gas and any repairs that had to be done. I worked and went to high school and kept my grades up. Most kids now are given a car and money to pay for anything they may need. What is that teaching them about responsibilty?  As for the school system I feel as though instead of trying to prepare our kids for college they should be getting them ready to be out on their own. Go back to basics, READING, WRITING AND ARITHMETIC. College should not be a necessity to get a job to make a decent living.  As for going into the military at 18, I think it is wonderful. They can learn so much and the military will teach them to become responsible young men and women and to be proud of themselves. What other job out there really will do that for them?

Yo,\nI don't know how old you are. Im 47. If you are younger, and more of your generation see things the way you do. Then there is hope for our country after all !!!\nYour a smart young lady for seeing the truth and speaking out. The Illeagals are stealing from us. They are filling our jails, They are commiting the most crime. We need to do something about it..

I am with you girl, education is the key! It's all really obvious where the Bush administration has gone within the last 6 years. America will regain its self soon with the change of Congress. I am hoping for the start of quite a few investigations to move forward, with a new Congress.

I would start by taking a GOOD look at our education system. It is failing. Europeans are ahead of us so are many others. If we do not cultivate the kids who will run our country down the line? more idiots. Other issues bug me but education would be my number one.

I think we need to police our own selves first! Instead of worrying about every other country in the world, we need to use all the efforts to secure our own border, feed our hungry, house our homeless, etc.  In other words, start at home first, then once our home land is good again, then we can help others.

I totally agree with you . The crime continues to go up and our schools are over populated as is . Our rights as Americans are going to crap ! If the Americans are the people and we are the voice then why allow such things to happen to our homelands ? People are to lazy or dont want to be the one who gets picked out as the one to be heard but , they are the first to complain ! Our nation is falling to pits as we speak whats next ? Our children have less and less chance to become prosperious in our own country when we allow things like this to happen . Naturally you want to protect your children from the evils of the world correct ? Then take a stand  , be a voice speak out for the rights we have as Americans . Our freedom is going and befor it is gone we need to come together and say WE the People have had enough! We dont want war , we dont want illgeals , we dont want more crime , we dont want more over crowded school and highways , we dont want these people to come in and take whats rightfully ours . This could mean more taxes , more money the states have to sink into unemployment , more  welfare . Drugs are easy enough to find on our streets allow these people to come in with their ways of living will send United States into a HOLE! These people come here make our money , take our jobs and infect our lives with smut and if you dont have the courage to stand up for whats your then  it is sad . Say No ! Stand in the gap for those who are lazy and just dont care ! Write letters send emails , tell everyone where you stand ! Be proud of who you are and where you live !

It's a start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Our country is being invaded by parasitic terrorist to the tune of $ 30 BILLION AMERICAN TAXPAYERS DOLLARS A YEAR" that is taking away the future of our elderly, ourselves, our children and their children. Wake up!!! The U.S.A. is the life boat of the world and it's overloaded. What good does it do to try to save the whole world, if we all perish? You future will be dim if this country does not wake up and do something about all the different groups of illegal aliens including the Chinese. Have you ever heard of the Trojan Horse?

I think there are alot of teenagers here, but what can you do? It's not that annoying. You have to learn to live with the next generation because they're going to take power from you someday.

What you said doesn't sound like the statement of someone living in a dream world to me.  It sounds like common sense.  I think our leaders need to take a refresher course in preschool and kindergarten, because they've clearly forgotten fundamental early life lessons -- like two wrongs don't make a right, the end doesn't always justify the means, and just because all your friends are jumping off a cliff doesn't mean you should too.  I think its our responsibility as citizens to voice our displeasure, tell our politicians to start behaving, and if they don't then get them the heck out of office.

Right now the republicans are using scare tactics to try and hold their position.\n" If Democrats take over, they will withdraw from the war and make every American citizen a target or terror!!!"\nGive me a break.\nRegardless the political agenda, Americans will vote by what they want from the government, not what the government wants from them, even though it may not make a difference.\nJust watch what happens, and maybe you will agree it is time to change ALL of government, not just the persons in it.
