He basically said that getting everybody to vote is stupid and if you're a moron I don't want you to vote because you'll probably vote for the wrong person and cancel out my vote because you are such a moron.<BR/><BR/>Good stuff.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244933790959444382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-30913613525325400332008-09-19T16:37:00.000-04:002008-09-19T16:37:00.000-04:00I should be delighted to know what criteria you wo...I should be delighted to know what criteria you would propose to determine voter competence. Suppose, for example, only citizens who have completed post-graduate studies were allowed to vote. I think the outcome of the upcoming presidential election would be quite clear in that case.
