Raising the age doesn't solve the problem. Idiots don't suddenly become smart after their 25th birthday. There should be a minimum aptitude test. 

Anybody that wants to bitch about disenfranchisement can summarily fuck off. Citizens have to get licenses to cut hair, drive a car, match your drapes and pillows, steal your money and convert it to stock, pick up your trash and any number of other activities, but apparently asking someone to pass a minimum aptitude test to vote suddenly becomes immoral.

Of course age doesn't fix idiots, although they are still less likely to cause highway fatalities, enlist for the dumbest of reasons, or even fuck up the elections at  25 or above. But I do like the idea of aptitude tests too, if they can be developed based on fact and free of political bias. They would have to be understandable too, in a country which does not actually have an official language. Remember when there were complaints that standardized tests have been biased in favor of those who speak English, and not "Ebonics"? You know, that sort of bullshit!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
