Sorry Ms. Asp your pushing rope on this suggestion. Your reasoning conflicts first with common sense. Would you as a parent allow your child male or female to drive a new car they have never driven having just completed a drivers education coarse and received a drivers license.?

Secondly what makes one think very youthful folks are going to be any different than the adult voting population?

Try this opinion on for size and see if it fit. The majority of the adult citizens of the this nation of inherited freedoms have no real skin in the game Ms.  Asp. Our freedoms enclude the unwritten freedom to do nothing are inherited,  a gift. Question for you.  What does one value more  a gift given or a like object that required blood, sweat, and or tears of effort on their part to attain?

 National service maybe? O no the draft! 

Giving the keys to this nation of inherited freedoms to the very young inexperienced citizens is not the answer Ms. Asp!
