Okay, time to restrict voting rights

[GePap]

Hmm, I wonder how many buildings this zip covers, which is also the single richest zip code in the US:

10104: 14 returns, with an average gross income of only $41K, yet an average income per return of $2.98M, and an average tax bill by return of $1.05M... How does that compute?

Vesayen, you are a person without vision and without perception. You're trying to cure a disease by treating the most obvious symptom.

Should we also castrate everyone with STDs to prevent their spread?

Easy. The rich guy and his local employees.

That really is not an apt analogy.... do you have a better solution?

So, in order to stop the GOP from restricting our liberties we must restrict them ourselves?

Che, right on comrad. Ves just wants to restrict the liberties of people who don't agree with him. No harm there.

And, of course, the 'damn yankees' make the damn South (or traitor-ville, as I like to call it) livable and actually bring it closer to civilization.

Indeed, nothing like living in Atlanta for awhile to teach you this. Although, I personally considered Atlanta a hellhole, I would have left before college if not for HOPE and other non-southern people living there.

Although, I am beginning to support the notion of an independent south, so long as we don't trust them with any of the nukes.

I'm sorry Kuci . Unfortunately the rest of Georgia brings us in the Atlanta metro region down.

Fortunately, at current rates of growth, the rest of the state will soon become insignificant... muhahahaha.

Vesayen:
Your "solution" belongs to the ideas that educated voters are more worthy of expressing their views than uneducated ones. You're definitely not the only one to hold this view (it was omnipresent here after Bush's second victory, and many of our Brits consistently believe in this idea).

However, this will achieve nothing. To claim that the Republican voters are "Dumb**** hillbillies in the midwest and the south who know nothing about our government" will only achieve to alienate them more from "ivory tower" types such as you.

I have lived the same experience in France, after the French rejected the EU constitution through referendum. Pretty much everywhere in the bourgeois left-wing press, and among the bourgeois lefty elite, those who voted "Non" were considered as utter cretins, who understood nothing of the education our politicians and press spent so much energy dispensing on the issue. Surprisingly, those who voted "Non" don't exactly think highly of these people, and are likely to vote against them if their opposition has a chance to win.

We should restrict the voting rights of everyone in Congress who voted for the flag burning amendment.

Though I thought I'd get a bigger bite on the "Traitor-ville" comment. Oh well..

Not EDUCATED voters, CARING voters. People who are apathetic and uncaring, should not vote because they do not understand the choice they are making. EVEN THE MILDLY RETARDED could pass this test.
