(I actually have the ultra radical belief that voting age should 14) I know there are those super political kids, but let's stay real, most of them could not give a damn about all those political debates and economical measures and whatnot (as long as they can play their Xbox or something) and it's just not responsible to let kids vote on things that are that important for everyone.

It’s why I love living in California (and why I support independence (another radical view of mine)) What's the need of a government then? If the voters are just going to decide by themselves even the funding for homeless people programs or infrastructure projects... unless you are very dedicated or an specialist in politics of some kind you can't possibly know the details of all these projects.
