I'm far less concerned about place of birth, and would have no problem with the recommended 20 year idea, than I am with idiots being given a vote simply because they're 18.
I'd favor raising the voting age, the drinking age, and the enlisting age to 25.
Voting, agreed. Drinking, maybe. Enlisting? WTF. If we don't let the stupid "look at me, I'm fucking immortal" set enlist, where are we gonna get fodder for the war machine?!? (we really need a tongue-in-cheek smiley).
Seriously though. I'd be down with those. Voting age probably would be the easiest. Most kids look forward more to being able to buy their own booze than getting to help choose the next old rich guy in Washington. Getting the enlistment age raised would be fought tooth and nail by people who are looking to join up for the college money, and there are a lot of those.
