men invented washing machines and vacuum cleaners and all the other wonderful efficient home appliances. Women had free time and went to work. That is the reason not that women have the right to vote.

A side note, I like to read a lot of Robert A. Heinlein science fiction and I think there is some merit in his idea in "Starship Troopers" where before anyone could vote, they have to serve a term in the military. Well, maybe that's a little too much for me, but I do believe that before ANYBODY can vote, they should pass a literacy test, reading comprehension, and perhaps U.S. history. A basic math test would be nice too. Maybe some might not like the idea, but voting is an important thing that can alter the destiny of a nation's course so people should understand the ramifications of such. Don't know if this would keep all the Jerry Springer type people out but I think it would be a good start. Of course the test will be equal to all.
