The red herring, as I see it, is that people without children don't care about the future of the country, and therefore don't deserve a vote. That's a fallacy if I ever heard one.

Ok, if that is the red herring, then as I asked you, what is it distracting from? Face it: you used the term improperly. Thus, your argument (if any) has very little merit.

If my use of the term 'red herring' distracts you from using your head to really think through the ramifications of the idiotic policy you've offered to us for consideration, please ignore it.

Yet another problem with your presentation: this is not my argument! I came in on this to simply say that the childless do indeed benefit from those who choose to raise children.

Don't think for one instant that you can or should want to continue to tax people whom you don't wish to give a vote. It's ridiculous. We fought a war about that once.

That was never my argument, and I reject the idea that any law abiding, alive citizen should be denied the vote.

Fine. If you aren't here arguing one side or the other of the issue raised in the article by the poster of this article, then you are the distracting red herring issue. :~D

And I think the fun that can be had with you has been had already.... good day.
