Teens will be around longer than the adults and will have to deal with the ever-growing pile of debt those adults saddle them with, so yeah, I think they do have an economic stake in it. Which can't wait the 5 years between age 13 to 18? Not to mention that those same conditions are more true of 5 y/os than 16 y/os, so why aren't you pushing for 5 y/os to vote? --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
