We have far too many people voting who have the mental capacity of a rutabaga.
Universal suffrage is the mistake which will finally destroy this Nation, just as it has destroyed EVERY other democracy in recorded history.
The vote is too important to be treated lightly. If someone can't pass a comprehensive literacy test they shold not have a vote. This would likely disqualify half of last year's high school graduates but I don't really give a Damn, we are being voted to destruction by idiots.
I certainly see your point, swampsniper. But here’s something else to consider:
1. Who writes the literacy test?
2. Who administers it?
3. Who monitors and stores the results?
4. Isn’t this going to create a whole new bureaucracy?
BTW, I’m no democrat.
