I had a discussion about 8 with my teenage daughter yesterday. You know -we've talked a lot about the presedentail candidates but not the prop's. She was saying she would vote yes which rather alarmed me - so we discussed why I was voting no. She kept saying - didn't know that - really - that's not fair.
I hope that if the subject comes up with her friends, she can voice these facts. They are freshmen but will be ready or nearly ready to vote in the next election for president in 4 years. And who knows, maybe if she does mention something to her friends, they might ask their parents about it.
Then I think - ha! Like that will ever happen. Teenagers standing up against their friends for a cause that doesn't directly affect them at their very moment in time and that those teens would then go and (gasp) talk to their parents. Dream on.
But at least we were able to discuss it.
