well, that’s fine for last election’s 18 year olds. no doubt some will see the light.
but this election cycle brings another crop of 18 year olds, most of whom have no responsibilities (and therefore nothing to lose by voting idiotically). they will vote overwhelmingly Dim, not to mention the fraud. their voting education will also come at our expense. and so on, and so on.
one radical solution is multi-tiered voting rights but that is not gonna ever happen.
how about this:
- lower voting age to 16 years old
- can’t vote if someone claims you as dependent (no matter what age)
- no voting for welfare recipients (they have ‘opted out’ of their right for as long as they wish to)
- no votes while in prison (post-conviction), but after release/end of probation, all, even felons, have their rights restored.
other exceptions can be found, I’m sure
see, told you I was a radical. you oughta hear my plan on alcohol and driving rights.
I’m a different kind of radical. I’m one of those educators who happens to be conservative. I believe that conservativism just makes sense and that one of the reasons why they have school last so long is because it takes 12 years to get the kids to think like a liberal.
Give young people responsibilities, and obligations, and see what you get? Anyways, blessings to you.
