“Why is it that you have to be at least thirty-five years old to run for President?” asked the Toluca Lake resident. Matthew proposed a constitutional change that would let kids vote and give grade-schoolers a shot at leading the free world, not that it doesn’t seem like we’re already there.
One “good thing that comes out of a kid being President is we wouldn’t know how to start wars so there would not be any. . . . Also, I have a few more statements. Who cuts down the tropical rain forests? Grown-Ups! Who uses up the earth’s natural resources? Grown-Ups! Now am I right or am I right?”

I’m from one of the less thrilling places in the world. Wichita KS. Though I say less thrilling, I’ve been around a bit (all the US, most of Europe, UK, Central America), and I ended up here to raise my family. Doubt I’ll be leaving, either!
Hey Kevin,
thanks for the comment. I’ve never been to Wichita, but it can’t be all bad right?
It’s a great town for raising a family and is a quick stop down the road from OKC and Kansas City, so you can get your big-city fix there. I miss some of the natural grandeur of other places (Majestic mountains, ocean vistas, etc).
All in all, it’s a pretty great place to live, the cost of living is nice and low, and the people are friendly…
