    Oh, I don’t mean temporary custody under controlled and hopefully educated circumstances, but those who hand it over completely. A kid simply does not need that power nor have the responsibility for full time custody.

    Hell, the government wants people 18+ before they’ll hand someone a gun and let them go die for something…

      No, I’m pretty sure that was some ancient Christian pro-lifers who came up with that rule. Government would take people younger if they could.

        “… if they could.”

        Yea that’s kinda’ EXACTLY the point… they CAN make it that way, but haven’t. The entire point is that modern Republicans are far more despicable than most any kind of politician from history. Yes, that includes slavers.

        It takes an entire additional level of evil to step BACK IN TO social problems, and that’s 100% of the modern GOP platform: bring back problems that were already solved.
