    Because if you’re not going to be around to see the consequences of the policies you supported maybe you shouldn’t be taking part in it.

    We don’t let children take part in the policies being made even though they will change their entire lives, but we do it because they aren’t informed enough for such decisions. Well guess what? Children are often smarter than people who are sun downing and while an old person only gets dumber as the years pass a child gets smarter.
