Kids aren’t old enough to vote so they represent no constituency; not old enough to work so they have no financial leverage. Their needs r neglected on levels we don’t even begin to grapple with as a society; we see the consequences all around us but refuse to address their cause

What are you talking about? Kids can work at 14. You think they should get a vote? Kids brains are still developing up until their mid-20's. Until then are more easily manipulated. Is that your intention? Give impressionable kids a right to vote so you can tell them how to vote?
