Kids Voting?

(Norway) To "stimulate community interest and involvement," three locales in Norway have submitted applications to allow adolescent 16-year-olds to vote.

Hey, if you're going to do something stupid, why not do something really stupid? Lower the voting age to 8 and welcome the pre-pubescent as voters. Eight-year-olds should be able to read the ballot. Hell, Norway, while you're at it, teach the pets to point and allow pet voting too.

Just think, maybe someday in the future, every species with a nervous system could be included on the roster of registered voters. Now, that would be a true one-animal-one-vote democracy.
