Enfranchising and Empowering Younger People
Perhaps I didn’t choose the best title. ”Enfranchising and Empowering Younger People” sounds more like something for an inspirational speaker than myself, but the title was the best one I could think of.This post was inspired by a New York Times article that my wonderful sister, Kate sent me. The reason that I like this article is that it provides a pretty stable rationale for allowing 16 year olds to vote. It even solves some of the problems.

Site Issues
Yes, issues is the correct word. WordPress can be a little finicky and a few things went wrong, so the friendly people at DreamHost support told me it might be better to start over. Most things were supposed to be saved, but things didn’t quite go as planned. Some links may be broken, but all links made from today forward should work. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, e-mail me at chris@viewfromafarley.com.

Neal Campbell Says Politics is Bad
Turns out that I’m not above singling people out to make a point. I hadn’t really intended to make my first real post out of the gate one that might incur the wrath of Neal Campbell, but I’ll take my chances. First of all, this post requires a little back story. Anyone following Neal Campbell and myself on Twitter will know that a few weeks back we had an exchange about politics. It was actually that exchange that inspired me to start my own blog. I wanted to talk about things that interested me, so today’s topic is people’s lack of faith in politics.
