Gee, you served in the military, and you're suggesting that only people who served in the military can vote? How about - only people who own property can vote because they're the ones who actually have property at stake. Only lawyers can vote because they're the ones who really understand the laws. Only people over 50 can vote because they're the ones who are mature enough to understand the issues. Only parents can vote because they've made a commitment to the future generations.

Hawk, I don't see how that is a "next level". <Why not just take it to the next level and divide people up into citizens, and non-citizens... Citizens being those who have served in the military and the only ones who have earned the right to vote because they have actually fought for and defended the nation? > BTW, how much to "defend" me against Jacob? Heck, judging from the vituperative spittle-coated words he induces in some, I should get a very good price. I'll shop around if you get greedy! Mqurice
