You said that so well. Thanks.Liberty wrote:I was bitter about a government that had a curfew on me at age 17, Yet I was a highschool graduate attempting to work enough to pay for college credits. I was severely restricted because of child labor laws that wouldn't allow me to work at factories or most other high paying jobs.
I didn't make much money, but I was paying the highest tax rates of my life because I was single. If I screwed up I would be treated as an adult. I could not buy a drink.
I got my draft notice when 19, I then joined. I could not vote or have a beer when I was at home. Although I was entrusted with crypto data, and procedures at my job. At home I was allowed to carry and shoot a shotgun or rifle, but was denied the right to own a handgun. even though I qualified with M1911a1, m16 and m60 at my job. I was nineteen at a foreign country and the Germans would allow me have a beer, my own home state would not.
Government almost always is unfair. I trust them even less than they trusted me at 17.
I think ....Texas A&M faculty want to take the right to vote away from anyone under 25, because a low percentage of that group have a high probability of voting wrong based on Insurance company actuary tables that persons under 25 are less responsible so they charge higher rates. (This seems to be their exact argument logic about CHLs on campus)
