Of course kids do not get a say in America 2007. They are told when , where and how, to go, every second of their lives.
they are forced to go to schools with outdated curriculum , that was designed to create good little factory workers, but there are no factory jobs.
Then when they turn 18 they are expected to be perfect little citizens, even though most young adults are pushed into military service to pay for a college education where they can go to s*** holes like Iraq and die so george Bush and people like him can line their pockets and protect THEIR systems that keep working people like you and me enslaved ina system that is bad for the planet, serves the military Industrial complex, just like Eisenhower said it would,
Then, when they can't take it anymore or they make a mistake, they are tried as adults, no matter what age they are.
And the President that lied to the American people to kill our children in his war, gives his friends get out of jail free cards, and Senators molest young men and get away with it.
What would make you think in a world like that, that this child has any choice? How much choice do you have? and you are an adult.
