14 year-old voters?...

What's up with this? Lowering voting age to 14 proposed in California
A proposed amendment to California's constitution would give 16-year-olds a half-vote and 14-year-olds a quarter-vote in state elections. State Sen. John Vasconcellos, among four lawmakers to propose the idea on Monday, said the Internet, cellular phones, multi-channel television and a diverse society makes today's teens better informed than their predecessors.
Wow. Cell phones make for better informed teens?
