Re: I don't want dummies selecting our country's leaders. It is difficult enough getting qualified political leaders.

You are making the assumption (wrongly IMO) that people with degrees are smarter than those without.

And a recent report found that almost 55% of students in various Ivy League schools received an "A" compared with about 15% thirty years ago. Are students smarter now? Probably not, but looking at degrees alone, you would probably come to this erroneous conclusion.

Re: Do you want the people who raise your taxes, and select judges, and make laws that effect you and your family, selected by people who can't even graduate high school?

Honestly, it is not part of my equation and never would be. I do NOT want selection in terms of who can vote. That is NOT what this country was founded upon.

I suggest you go back and read the Constitution.
