Far more recently than that, there were segments of our society that couldn't vote or had to pass certain "voter aptitude" tests before they could vote. Those tests were written in Latin. Praytell, what portion of society are you seeking to exclude when you suggest there ought to be "rules and regulations before you vote" ? |

I disagree. If you presume that high school dropouts are "ignorant" (not necessarily true), then you must realize that includes the racists, sexist, intolerant people who are solidly REPUBLICAN. And dropouts would listen to the media and do what they tell them to do? Like you listen to Rush Limbaugh - who lambasts drug users while popping oxycontin like tic-tacs? |

Here's a thought: Instead of slots, instead of adding raising sales taxes by 20% (not 1%), how about cuttng spending? |

Wow! You raked me over the coals for a similar comment, and now its my time to treturn the favor. It was never the founding fathers' opinion that every American citizen should have the right to vote. They knew that the average man was far too stupid, and would be swayed by bribes (similar to tax cuts today) to vote what they truely thought was best. That is why in the early days, you had to have land to vote. You had to pay a poll tax. Do you think just anybody fit those descriptions? And besides, how long did it take for African-Americans and women to earn their voting privildges? I am not agreeing with everything steveox has said, but I for one am tired of seing you bash him (not his ideas) every time he says something like this. He was right, voting is a privilidge, not a right. Now please stop bashing him (refering to him as the one who comes up with all the "anti-Republican conspiracies"), and actually prove some of his "conspiracies" wrong please. If you disagree with him, thats fine, but stop attacking him and start attacking his ideas. |

I think voting is a right. Times have changed since the founding father's time. Everybody goes to school (supposed to) and I'm pretty sure people who don't care about school don't care to vote. Not everybody votes, you do have to register and be at least 18, it's not a privelage it is a right. There is no reason one should not vote, voting is kept serious and you really can't abuse your voting rights so there is no reason to be punished in that area. You vote for representitives and it's not fair if not everybody is represented. |

If voting is a right, why has everyone who is not white and male been, at some point, denied it? Why has special legislation been required for women and blacks to be allowed to vote? |

Times have changed, but the fact remains this is a country founded on "freedom and rights" that has repeatedly denied those same "freedom and rights" to many of its own citizens. |
