>4 - be at least 26 years old - sorry the age of social maturity and responsibility has risen the last 40 years

Ken,

I'll take you on specifically on this one. If you're able to serve in the armed forces for our country, you should be able to have a voice. This would mean a minimum age of 18. It wasn't so long ago (late 60s, early 70s) when you could be drafted and sent off to war without any say about it.
