rhetoric has extended to Engligh language: disenfranchisement

"to refuse or deny a constitutional or statutory right or privilege, such as to vote"

if a feeble minded person fails to follow directions,
that voter has NOT been disenfranchised
rather, that person has failed to conform to the agreed process

if an imbecile or vastly inexperienced person fails to follow directions,
that voter has NOT been disenfranchised
rather, that person has failed to conform to the agreed process

nobody has denied the people whose votes failed to be included
nobody has been disenfranchised
instead, a system was created to facilitate the process
and such people didnt follow instructions properly

heated rhetoric, distortion, lies, deceptions, subterfuge
Gore Campaign is full of this

analogy:
Olympic 100meter dash, runner jumps the gun twice
he/she is disqualified, but has not lost right to compete

America's roads, driver repeatedly breaks speed limit
he/she cannot drive for a period, but still has the privilege to drive

Family & Reproduction, dangerous promiscuity leads to debilitating venereal disease
he/she cannot reproduce, but still has the privilege to conceive

Public Demonstration, protestor'e excitement results in lost voice
he/she cannot speak, but has not lost the right to speak

this type of language is both deceptive and inflammatory
we are not talking about RIGHTS here, but ability to conform and perform within a system
