The US is a very unenlightened country in some respects. Prostitution is legal in many countries and is usually 18, sometimes 17. However I don't get how puritanical the US can be though. The Dems want to lower the age of voting to 16, yet want to increase the age of consent.
How does voting and sexual consent age link? The dems want no-kill shelters for dogs. The Repubs want the inheritance tax ended.
