Sorry. I may have overreacted. But I still disagree.
There are SOME young people who I believe would be very good choosers when it comes to donations....but the majority would not. They can volunteer their services. When they are completely on their own, then they can choose and willingly donate their money (not their side job money - their hard earned salary with which they support themselves.) Don't take it personally.
Most adults can't make political decisions, or even personal decisions, very well. Look at the 2000 presidential election, or the state of California, or just about any news thread on this site for evidence. But that's entirely beside the point.
A person should be able to choose how they want to spend their money on their own. That's what freedom is all about. To suggest otherwise is- well, to be quite blunt- unAmerican. Nor does it matter how that person gets their money (other than theft, of course). If it did, then I could easily claim that a housewife, or a pensioner, or someone living off an inheritance shouldn't be able to donate to political campaigns. Really, what is the harm in letting a young person donate to a political cause, other than the fact that the money may go to a person or organization you don't like?
P.S. My interest in this topic is entirely philosophical. This particular provision of CFR doesn't affect me.
