Seminar reflection :You’re 16, You’re Beautiful and You’re a Voter

I feel I did a fairly well job in today’s seminar. Even though I wasn’t fully prepared having only read the thing twice, I brought up some interesting points. Probably my strongest point was that if people not care about who is president, they won’t vote. This countered a lot of my the arguments of my opponents.
“Does driving take more responsibility than voting”?” was a question someone had. While it only sparked a short conversation, it made me think greatly. It’s a deep question when you analyze it for it becomes “ Which takes more responsibility, following a long set of rules that promote safety or making a decision that will effect the country for years to come”. Then that becomes “Which is harder, doing what your told or doing your own thing”. It’s an opinion versus reason thing. I personally think that Voting takes Voting takes more responsibility than driving.
In my group their was no one I agreed with. This was due to the fact that I was the only person still for lowering the voting age by the end of the seminar. This may sound depressing but in truth it was rather fun to fight for a lost cause. It gave me a joyous feeling of going against the grain and upholding one of my favorite sayings. “Rules aren’t made to be broken, their made to be changed” –Saul Propp
