From following the LGBT rights movement, I've learned that all civil rights movements start with kids. If kids could vote, every civil rights movement would have been quicker.

"Ageism is the first discrimination people face in their lifetimes. It opens the door to other forms of discrimination. When kids are taught that adults are superior to them, they also learn to accept that men are superior to women, whites are superior to blacks, and jocks are superior to nerds. They learn that people with power should be bullies and people without power should be easy victims." - Concealed Weapon, "The Real Meaning of Liberty"

The lower the voting age, the more power the youth will have. Also youth are more open to change… the longer one holds views, the harder it is for them to change them.

Exactly. Kids do have opinions, but are not being taken seriously due to the ageist and stereotyping ideas in society.

I know! This is so true. It's been one of the main things that gets me mad about YR.

I think stereotypism & ageism are totally lame! We would probably be further into this if older folks took youths more seriously. Alas, this is not so, but we have to change all that. Perhaps the next few years will prove to be the years of change, independent of who's in office, and I'm not talking about the motto- I'm talking about "real" change, baby!
