16 year olds?!?!?!? I was under the assumption those who have not reached the age of majority have been legally determined not mature enough to participate in representative government, or even in their own life's choices. Yet Thurston County wants to include these pre-legal opinions on an advisory council. Kids are great. Many have a purity of thought unclouded by the rigors and responsibilities of adulthood. But they aren't qualified to serve in government in any capacity at age 16 or 17. Additionally, Thurston County is doing a great disservice to every school by grooming those who should be student leaders for all into this special interest group for a few.
