For years I’ve had this nagging thought that voting in elections should be restricted. If certain qualifications are not met, you simply don’t quality. Didn’t stay in school? Can you read English? Have a criminal record? Do you get a check from the Gov’t while you don’t work? Are you legally in this country? Basics. Frankly, I wouldn’t mind some type of property ownership qualification as well, but that might get me in trouble.
btw: if you’ve been honorably discharged, you’re automatically in. If you’re currently in the service, you’re vote should count twice.
He he, maybe we could get a discount if we buy our flame suits at the same time... :)
No thanks. I don't really want some of the guys who are currently in having an enhanced ability to make decisions for the rest of us.
That it would, my friend...

So exactly how do we determine who makes the decisions about who does and doesn’t vote? What, for instance, if the people making that decision think that folks who are “too” religious — you know, go to certain types of Christian churches — can’t be trusted?
