Recently, House Representative Ken Weaver of Washington State proposed a bill (House Bill R-9687b) that would raise the legal driving age to 21. You heard me right—Congress is considering raising the driving age to 21. If you are like me, such a law would be a catastrophe and would only mean one thing: the end of life as we know it.

Representative Weaver claims that his bill is motivated by "safety." He argues, “Nearly half of all accidents involve people under the age of 21." Representative Weaver also claims, "Raising the driving age would mean raising the level of safety on America's roads."

But I would ask Representative Weaver: Do not "nearly half" of all accidents involve men, and would not the streets be safer, then, if male drivers were outlawed? And what about the percentage of accidents that occur on paved roads—should we do away with paved roads too?

Weaver also claims that "a majority of seat belt violations" are the fault of the under-21 crowd. But let me ask you this: Do people under the age of 21 really wear their seat belts less often than older people, or are they just caught more often? That is, we know the police have their eye on the teenagers, but are they looking at the adults as well?

But I can hear it now: "If teenagers are all so safe, why do they have such high accident rates?" Here's a possible answer: inexperience. Like anybody who is inexperienced, the teenage driver must suffer through a legitimate period of self-doubt and skills acquisition. Chances are, if the driving age were moved to 21, we would see 21- to 24-year-olds causing the largest percentage of safety problems—not because of a maturity problem, mind you, but just because they would be inexperienced at driving.

a: If you are like me, such a law would be a catastrophe and would only mean one thing: the end of life as we know it.

b: o not "nearly half" of all accidents involve men, and would not the streets be safer, then, if male drivers were outlawed? And what about the percentage of accidents that occur on paved roads—should we do away with paved roads too?

c: Weaver also claims that "a majority of seat belt violations" are the fault of the under-21 crowd. But let me ask you this: Do people under the age of 21 really wear their seat belts less often than older people, or are they just caught more often?

d: But I can hear it now: "If teenagers are all so safe, why do they have such high accident rates?

20. What Important element of Benjamin Franklin's character does this passage from his autobiography reveal?
There was a salt-marsh that bounded part of the mill-pond, on the edge of which, at high water, we used to stand to fish for minnows. By much trampling, we had made it a mere quagmire. My proposal
was to build a wharf there fit for us to stand upon, and I showed my comrades a large heap of stones, which were intended for a new house near the marsh, and which would very well suit our purpose.

Archery Rivals
Ellie took pride in her archery skills. Among the 40 members of
Greenville School's Archery Club, she was the only one who
could hit a target 50 meters away.
During the second term, a new student, Ripley, joined the
archery club. On her first day, Ripley proved that she was just
as good as Ellle. The instructor even believed that she could
perform better than Ellie. Gradually, Ripley took over Elle's
position as the top archer of the school.
Finally, the day of the state archery tournament arrived, and
with the field crowded with spectators, Ripley stepped out to
begin hitting her marks. As expected, she quickly climbed the
Scoreboards, with Ellie following closely behind. However, no
one realized that Ellie had secretly been practicing for the final
50-meter round. When the final round was over, everyone was
astonished. Ellie had struck a perfect bull's-eye on all five
attempts. She was the state champion!
Everyone rushed to congratulate Ellie on her victory. She
walked over to her rival, who was standing alone in a corner
Ellie took Ripley's hand and thanked her. If it had not been for
her, Ellie would have never trained so hard.
Over the next several years, Ellie and Ripley continued their
rivalry. But when they were not on the field, they were the best
