You have stood tall against this crooked administration to this point I-node, but to me you make no sense at all on this argument. It EXACTLY justifies the position if society deems it so. Want to legalize the private use of pot, fine, I have no problem with that, even though it is a gateway drug. BUT, if one commits a crime that IS a felony, I don't care what it is, there should be dire consequences even if his/her "debt" is paid. If you daughter is dead in the grave, does any decent human being believe that the drug dealer back on the street has "paid his debt" to society. I ain't buying it. In the same way, I may be one of the few people that believe that if you are ,by state standards, legally drunk and cause an accident involving a fatality, one should be charged with first degree murder. Choices my friend....choices.

Again -- if a person is convicted of a felony, say drug possession, what logical reason can you give for disallowing that person to vote AGAINST the law he/or she may not support? To eliminate the ability of said person to be involved in a change of the system. Those that violate such laws are not allowed any input that might result in a change of the status quo. Convicting such persons flags them as person that would likely vote against the laws that put them in jail. A cluster of persons to negate, as far as voters. All systems tent to try to perpetuate themselves. Allowing such persons to vote would undermine the system. It is a method of manipulating election results.
