Ann Coulter - March 19, 2014 - YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE -- NEITHER DOES THE N.Y. TIMES

Ann Coulter - March 19, 2014 - YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE -- NEITHER DOES THE N.Y. TIMES



Here's what caught my eye:



How about not letting them vote until they're at least old enough not to be on their parents' health insurance?
The right to vote is precious.  But something precious has to be respected, in my opinion.  I think what Coulter is saying is a way of protecting the right to vote.  The right to vote can't mean anything if someone is too ignorant to exercise it intelligently.  Question is, how do you address that?  She does it flippantly here, but she has a point.  If you are a dependent of some kind, should you be making decisions for other people?  You should be able to exercise some personal dominion before you try to exercise it on others.  For someone to be dependent upon their parents for insurance, that should be a disqualifier.
