You see, this is the problem with minors and adults. Since minors have no strong voice in politics(except for some), the adults are able to change anything, and children can't do anything. The only way to block such a thing would be to have a dem vote no. Also, what is the difference between 16 and 18 other than 2 years? There is this stereotype that teens are bad drivers, cause more accidents and such, but that does not apply to ALL teens. Maybe you could raise it, but let the ones who get good grades, participate in extra curricular activities and things be able to drive at 16, but let the troublemakers and bad people be at 18. Also, I am early into school. I will turn 18 during the summer which I go to college. That could cause problems. I think by keeping it at 16, it also lets teens have a little more on the road training before being let loose. Just my 2 cents.
