So different from when I was that age...1972....there was a concerted effort around the country to have the voting age reduced to 18 (26th Amendment).

It was because we had "skin in the game" and if most 22-year-olds are "apolitical" it tells me that they don't think it will affect them personally.

Well, it does and it will. So my advice for young men is "Grow the fuck up". You are now an adult and it is time to become a responsible citizen. There is no excuse not to do so.
