On top of that, in a couple of years after they start working and driving, we (as a country) start trusting them to enter wars. That's a whole other can of worms, but if we already say "in a couple of years, these 16-year-olds can join the military," then why not allow them to vote at 16 versus 18 when it's only a 2-year difference?
