From: VamosDon-AT-aol.com Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 17:53:29 EST Subject: electric chair lol, I think "exfilration" is probably right but, as OOTSONATI pointed out, in addition to having the privileges of voting, buying cigarettes, consuming alcohol, and even watching porn, which are rights an individual "earns" once they reach the age of 18, they would also probably insist on making it so you would have to register for the military at age 16. "I say right. This country is too obsessed with crime and punishment to begin with." Probably so, but after recent events involving youth, I think it's probably Fear and maybe (valid) paranoia that's the driving force behind harsh legal sentencings and Zero-Tolerance bullshit and also politicians or people that think we need to limit free speech for crime to receed.
