To start with, we are not talking about " children", these are collage age people, adults one would assume should be responsible for them self's.
 You are correct re: the stupid voting, after nearly eight years of the Hussein Obama regime, our country is nearly bankrupt, our economy, & military is in shambles, our enemies don't fear us, & our allies don't trust us.
 we are less free, & have burdened future generations in debt that will insure they have a lower standard of living than the previous generation.
 Yes, the stupid voting has real consequences.
 Perhaps a competency test in order to vote would be one possible solution, since the stupid will always be with us.
