I am beginning to think we need to lower the age of majority for purposes of levying charges of violent crime. If 15 and 16 year old "children" are out murdering and assaulting, then they are old enough to be charged as adults.

A cut doesn't heal any faster because the hand that wielded the knife is younger.

There is a reason that the age of bar mitzvah is 13.

Lower the age for being charged as an adult -- raise the voting age.
