RAISE THE ROOF (or at least the voting age)

Now that I have already upset my daughters, nieces and nephews PLEASE let me explain. The past election probably had the most support of voters ages 18-25 of any other election in recent history. For this I say YEA!!!!! Now for the problem, which by the way is quite simple. This will be brief and to the point since the problem only has two points.

POINT ONE-
The over whelming majority of college professors are very liberal. Whether intentional or not (and most the time it is) these professors pass on and "teach" their views to their students. The students not knowing any better and who look up to and respect and learn from these professors end up taking the same views.

POINT TWO-
Most people ages 18-25 have not dealt with the "real world". Sure they might have watched the MTV show but have not dealt with the day to day problems of society. They have been in school and have had their parents take care of the day to day factors.

So in summary I say raise the voting age to 30 years old. This way some of the liberal professor's teachings have been forgotten and the voters will have lived and experienced the real world. Not that it is bad to help your fellow man, just don't do it blindly and for all means DON'T expect the government to solve the problem or help out.

Next blog I will explain the "American Idol" effect.
