No risk tolerance. With you in charge no revolution...With you in charge no Martin Luther...

What utter nonsense. She's a child.

I have ancestors who were fighting wars, running businesses, and raising multiple children at the age of 16. So do you.

I think treating teenagers as helpless children until age 18 or beyond, and then seeing them wait until their 30s to get married and have their own kids, is contributory to much societal disorder and individual unhappiness.
