| Message | For those concerned with article 2, I believe the admissions test will be stronger than government regulation. |

| Message | Why are we increasing the age that you need to go to school until but lowering the age you're an adult? I think those numbers should be constant. |

| Message | We would support this sans Article 2, but Article 2 is enough to kill any hope of our support since it goes against our natural inclination to regulate and to be wary of all private endeavors. Unfortunately, unless it is amended our grand total of ZERO votes will be cast in the negative. Aren't you so sad? : ) : P |

| Message | What I was trying to accomplish was to A) give the right to vote at 17: this is an established pivot that many democracies are working toward; B) if you are familiar with the show M*A*S*H*, you will understand my point. Why I am trying, inadequately, to explain is that too often, the role of national service, many persons are drafted at age 18; quite often, these people are under-developed mentally if not physically. By requiring them at school through age 19, we would be preventing some of the more wincing sacrifices of national service whilst further educating our young people. |
