No. IMHO, felons have lost their right to vote by committing such grievous acts against society.

Reformed one-time felons, yes ... given a decent interval of time and a citizen's review panel in which the ex-con pleads his or her case.

Sounds like a dual between "gray area thinking" and "black and white" thinking. Good and bad vs. good sometimes and bad sometimes depending on the situation.

It's just my opinion, of course, but someone who has committed a felon has already shown him/herself to have complete disregard for the society in which he/she lives, whether that be "white collar" crime or otherwise. The person may be punished for their bad behavior, but that doesn't make the person regenerate into a less selfish, self-centered, self-gratifying individual.

Also, with the plea bargains, reduced sentences, or letting some out early because of "good behavior" (simply because, in some cases, there's not enough room in to keep them in jail)....are many of these "reformed" ex-cons really reformed? I think not.
