I'm libertarian, but I believe that libertarianism is for adults. I also believe that an eighteen year old rarely has the maturity that a twenty-one year old would have. At age 18, I voted for the first time and it was for Jimmy Carter, because the media had convinced me that Reagan was a crazy old man who would start WW III. 'Nuff said?
I would be fine with raising the age for everything to twenty-one. I think people would be more comfortable legalizing real freedom if it did not take effect until age twenty-one.
It would make it more difficult to recruit soldiers because few twenty-one year olds feel as indestructible as eighteen year olds often do. Gosh, politicians could only start wars that people with some maturity would be willing to fight in. Hm . . .
