| Message | No, we feel that while this limbo-status is regrettable 16 is too young to be considered an adult |

| Message | What do others think? I suppose that increasing the compulsory education age to 17 and lowering the age of adulthood to 17 would have the same effect and would work just as well. The problem is that if someone finished compulsory education then they are no guaranteed the rights of an adult should they become completely economically-active. |

| Message | We support this bill. It was originally included in the National Pride Act, but it was one of the proposals that got the bill shot down. We believe that if you are eligible to drive a car, smart enough to maake decisions about sexual and substance activity, you are an adult. Thus, this bill supports our ideals. |
