<h2> Children & Voting</h2>
Consequences and both negative and positive sides
I think children should not be allowed to vote for things such as presidents, since it's a big responsibility. But I do think, early teens and teenagers (12+) should be smart enough to elect a candidate, and predict the consequences of their election.
If I vote for a person with a dirty history, I should predict there is no reason why he/she should suddenly be a clean person.
If I vote for a person with a clean history, but that doesn't seem to be willing to do or change anything, I should be able to predict that things will remain the same, if not worse.
Even if most children that age, are responsible enough to vote, it's a huge responsibility, and the truth is, newer generations are gradually loosing interest in politics, which means they will relatively become more politically naive, affecting their decisions.

I think Art Spiegelman wanted to express his story, and his father's story through a medium he was comfortable with, which was art. I thought it was a fascinating decision.
