If you could change 1 law (or a series of related laws) what would it be?

I would change every age thing (drinking, smoking, voting) to 21. except keep driving and joining the military at same age.
Additional Details
I would especially change the voting age because a lot of 18 year olds and even 21 year olds are still living with their parents or their parents are paying for college. As much as they may want to believe otherwise, they are not a full member of society. And neither am I. I am only 16. I also get where the people who want to legalize marijuana for the economic boost are coming from, but I am pretty indifferent on that issue.

I'd change the religion out of schools thing. I think it's gone way too far.

Voting..

You should have to take an IQ test and pass with at least a 105+

But it would never happen because no democrats would ever win.

I think your change in law is silly. I am 20, and if I can vote, and risk my life in the military I should be able to drink, smoke, and vote (especiaslly if it is about my life!).

I think I would ban abortion UNLESS it is because the mothers life is in risk. Personally, I would have my baby anyway, but some women need to stay alive for their family, and don't believe God is the ultimate decider.

the virginity age to 14
I did it at that age, and used a condumn, so I don't see the problem.


IamNoWhere
Omg, where do i start... That's a tough one. I can't even think what would be best for the future and without consequence, and it couldn't be circumvented.

I'd put a mandatory expiry date on money - this way the kind of insane greed that triggers these sort of man-made financial messes would be limited since nobody could accumulate so much wealth to be such a financial threat to anyone.

I would abolish outlawing of drugs. It would free-up half the prison populations and reduce billions currently being spent on drug law enforcement. It's not that I condone drug use, because I don't. However, the US should spend money educating people on the dangers of drug use. Beyond that, we should rely on people's individual choices. Driving under the influence, and other actions that harm endanger others should still be illegal, but we should "decriminalize" the whole situation. Heck, even levy a tax on marijuana being sold at Walmart. It would put a lot of gangsters out of business as well.
That's my two cents....


danger.moose
I'd legalize marijuana. It'd boost the economy and stoners will have nothing to complain about ever again.

I wouldn't want to change or make any laws necessarily, but I would like to find a way to bring down human reproduction rates and global human population. Preferably through stabilization of governments worldwide and global reduced reproduction education programs.

I would remove all Government regulation of Marijuana and free all jailed of pot related charges.
I would order Government to fund research into alternative uses of this plant in all areas of study.

i would change the law that says you have to be 21 to drink. i would make it 15.


DaNnY
the drinking age and smoking is a good idea but it wont matter because everyone brakes it anyway. My dad started smoking when he was in the 2nd grade, can you believe that? hes 50 now and still smokes..

I would make it so that nobody would have to go to school, only to a special school that teaches only the thing you need to know about the career your interested in, and some other small things.(some math..etc, dont want to make the world completely dumb lol)
