One cannot deny the reality of the numbers, Ann is correct about that. She is not correct that giving the vote to women caused the problem to begin with.

Taking the right to vote away from women is about as likely to happen, as taking the vote away from liberals, who truly deserve it. Therefore, offering to give up one's vote in this case is an empty gesture. And I truly resent the men on these threads, foisting most of the blame for our socialistic state upon women, and our "emotional" way of thinking.

Furthermore, all taxpayers, landowners or not, deserve the right to vote. Landownership has nothing to do with how I vote. I vote the same way when I don't own property as when I do. I suspect with most voters non landownership does not have enough of an impact to justify taking away their vote, and is about as likely to happen as are the two examples above.

At the moment I don't own my home. I sold it five years ago. Yet today I received information in the mail from the township in which I live, stating that due to a recently passed ruling, residents must get a permit for a fee for remodeling their kitchens and bathrooms, or pay double the price for the permit if caught without one. That is an outrageous violation of both privacy rights and property ownership, and I have a call into the township to complain and find out how such a ruling passed to begin with, even though, at present, I am not subject to the ruling.

Such discussions about taking away people's right to vote from various groups, are mere wishful thinking and do nothing but engender ill will and divisiveness among conservatives, at a time when it is imperative to remain united IMHO.

Let’s face it. Women like you and I are a small minority.
