"university graduates should bet sixteen votes, high school graduates should get 4 votes, elementary school graduates should get one vote and those who didn't finish elementary school should not get any vote."

1) Why a guy like me who dropped out should not be entitled to vote? Would you want me to shut up because I am a potential disturbance to the divison of the cake?

2) Since we illiterates would be excluded in have a saying on how taxes would be allocated and spent, we would all be tax exempted, would we?

3) If I would buy a fake diploma I could vote, could I?

4) Since peple who attended MacDonald's University would be entitled, pretty soon Harvard, Yale and Stamford graduates, would demand 24 votes, and so it will go.

5) You are an academic aren't you? At least you emntioned that in your posting about AI two days ago.

Anyway, as a Brazilian, I am entitled to vote. I am forced to vote, since if I don't the Brazilian government fines me. I pay the fines but don't vote.
