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
