Yeah, because giving the franchise to any moron that turns 18 and has a pulse has sure worked well everywhere its been implemented, right?

Thank you for burning a strawman. You know that you did that, right? You know that your comment is stupid and reflects poorly on you, right? I hope you're smart enough to know that, but it's far from certain.

Frankly, I no longer want to be ruled over by people too dammed selfish

Frankly, I no longer want to be ruled over by obsessive busybodies who want to tell how to live my life and whether or not I'm "giving back" enough to the "community". To Hell with them, and to Hell with their mandatory "service" requirements.

Now, do you care to address the simple facts: We simply have no legitimate need for the vast horde of make-work “government servants” that you and Robert want to create. Your proposal also inverts the relationship between We the People and our government. It serves us. We do not serve it.

Recent empirical evidence suggests that this statement is false. As a normative statement, yes that how was it was designed. The United States is no longer operating according to design specifications my FRiend.

If you look at what the founders suggested in the debate that took place in the late 1780's, I think they would be appalled at the universe franchise. One man, one vote eventually gets us what we have today throughout western society -- the only permissible debate is how much of our stuff we have to surrender to a preferred political class.

You OK with millions of people voting for your rulers with no stake in the system beyond "gimme"?
