This article discusses the practice of children accused of crimes being "Tried as an adult" and is based on a thread at www.goldismoney.info which itself began as a discussion of this article in The Wall Street Journal:

Thanks for reading!

well the government is an interesting subject, and to be honest with you the less they have to do with me, and the less i have to do with them the better. i would even go as far as to say that although we were discussing the airline short falls in the last post. it seems we all agreed there were plenty to go around the government is far worse. the government is to big, run far too inefficiently and answers no one group to any great effect. don't get me wrong government has its place, and is a much valued part of society, but it would be nice to see them use there common sense even just a little. so while the rest of us live and play by the same rules, the government changes its rules to suit the occasion. so its hardly surprising that they have several answers/ definitions to what adult means, and to be sure adult is not the only word they are confused on. of course this in only my opinion. simon

Simon,

Thanks. Yeah I'd like the government to pretty much leave me alone too!
