Interesting concept. However, it is just that, a concept. That would require much deliberation by state governments, not to mention the problems that would arise with those who received low "mental ages." As nice as it would be I just don't see it working. Also, I would have to say that I disagree that we as Americans mature at a slower rate then other countries. I think it really all depends on the person. Americans live vastly different lives, and, although when we think "American" we think of the average middle working class individual. This is unfortunately not how everyone lives. Life for many Americans is not easy. Some people, regions more specifically are stricken with poverty so much so that children are without health care and dying every day. Believe it or not, there are some parts of America that closely resemble a third world country. It is only in major cities and suburbs that life is "easy"
