Same thing for voting.

A bit off-topic, but do you believe we should allow civil servants to vote? How about people on welfare?

Well, I was trying to be sarcastic, I guess. The thinking of people like Gould and other Darwinian dogmatists is frankly anti-democratic, was my point.

What do you want to do, reinstate the old property qualification? I don't think it could be done. Plus isn't that a little unfair? If you have a problem with the way welfare moms vote, make 'em get off welfare and get a job---don't take away their vote. Same thing for civil servants----make more of 'em get a job in the "real world," but don't disenfranchise them.
