16 and 17 year olds aren’t tried in adult court because it’s assumed they’re not yet capable of making adult decisions. They can’t buy marijuana because the research shows their brains aren’t fully developed – but we have plenty on the progressive left who want to give them the vote.

Every time the stats come out on income inequality we act like we’re surprised that some jobs and professions are more highly paid than others. If you want to make money – it’s no big mystery what jobs you should pursue.

It all depends on your definition of good policy.  Too often that means a policy that furthers their partisan goals at the expense of the rest of us.
