Reverting back to 18 is considered an adult in the United states, by the law. We can state the obvious with psychology and human anatomy all day. It still doesn't justify more laws going into effect without considering the main law of a minors age and an adults. The fact remains : more laws, more government intrusion in our lives. I prefer less government involvement in most things. The government as it stands is out of control- via the states and fed.

So the fact that the part of your brain that allows you to plan ahead doesn't fully develop until you are a at least 24 (there is a bigger difference between 18 and 21 than there is between 21 and 28), means nothing to you? Because to me, it seems highly relevant when deciding when people are able to be fully responsible for themselves. You can argue that 18 allows you to be responsible
enough. But the legal definition of adult is highly misleading to a lot of people. People don't even look the same at 18 as they do when they are fully grown.
