Glad you clarified by stating an opinion. Under the law, that opinion
doesn't apply. A stay-at--home mom has a right to vote in America.
She didn't pay taxes for her work raising a family, but has a
guaranteed, constitutional right to vote.

I don't believe the word,"democracy" appears in the U.S. Constitution.

Article IV Section 4, of the Constitution "guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government".... Conversely, the word Democracy is not mentioned even once in the Constitution... Madison warned us of the dangers of democracies with these words,

"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths...",

In other words, democracies always fail and the founders knew this because they were highly educated. Keep arguing about it because debate leads to learning since it makes you seek knowledge. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

The problem is how I feel from day to day. I don't know if I'll be up to doing anything on a regular schedule. Some days I'm in so much pain and feel so bad that I don't get out of bed, except for bathroom breaks. I'm actually helping a guy get his business going by finding material for jobs and ordering it. He just completed installing a fiber optic link in a 30 story building to link a network on the top floor to a network on the bottom floor. I found and ordered all the material for that job because I understand all the specs and what's involved with such work because of my experience. I'm trying to compile a customer list for him to call on from my old customers and JH's old customers. I'm trying to find a deal on insurance for him so he can get work from national service companies that use independent service techs. I can help, I just can climb ladders or crawl under anything anymore. It's frustrating as hell.ヽ(à²*_à²*)ノ

I think I've earned my right to vote as a law abiding citizen. I have a problem with able bodied people who have even a modicum of intelligence sitting on their butts while getting public assistance. I believe in workfare and would like to see it implemented by a Trump administration and used as part of his promise to rebuild the country's infrastructure. Heck, put the able bodied welfare recipients to work cleaning up their neighborhoods. ”Œ( à²*_à²*)”˜

LOL, the typical poor deprived fat welfare spud is too lazy to pick up the trash in their own yard.

Some people (not suggesting Uncle Monster) are "disabled" because they're overweight. They shouldn't be classed as legally disabled.

Glad you clarified by stating an opinion. Under the law, that opinion
doesn't apply.


I think you have a reading comprehension problem. Did your mother drop you on your head when you were little?

He read it perfectly well.

There is a huge difference.

Most people have been conditioned in the government schools to believe
otherwise. Even for those who know better it is very easy to slip up
and use the incorrect terminology since it is so pervasive.

Democracy is just mob rule, where 51% of the people have their way the
other 49%. (It has also been described as two foxes and a hen voting on
what to have for dinner.)

If it weren't for the electoral college, California and New York would
decide every presidential election and the rest of us might as well just
stay home.sniP

You do realize, in realty, that doesn't happen.

Yes, that was a bit of hyperbole, but it isn't far off from
the truth. The coasts would decide the election, and
the flyover states would just have to suck hind teat.

So the alternative is to grant land the right to vote? Strange. I don't
think you guys have thought this through.

Up until recently, we were a land of yeoman farmers. It's still
a good idea to let the middle of the country have some say in how
the nation is governed.

I would say that if someone is receiving a government entitlement check
they should not be able to vote due to conflict of interest. People
living at public expense should not be permitted to determine public
policy. There are far too many non-productive, useless lumps of protoplasm
being permitted to pick their neighbors' pockets by proxy.

So disabled military veterans shouldn't be allowed to vote? That's
pretty ****ed up. Maybe you have a different definition for
"entitlement" than I do.

Hell, perhaps military vets should get two votes as reparations for being crapped on for so many years. There should never be a homeless vet or one who can't get medical care. My parents served, my dad's older brother was a lifer, my older brother served two tours in Vietnam. Me and my other brother tried to join during the Vietnam war but were turned down for medical reasons. Hell, we tried to join which is more than a lot of the whining weasels have ever done. The citizenry should be thanking the military and veterans every day because we have no idea of the secret things they've done to protect the country. My older brother was special forces and in Laos before anyone ever heard of the country. The average citizen has no fraking clue. ヽ(à²*_à²*)ノ

Here's an analogy. You've got a guy who's the proverbial
90-pound weakling and another guy who's a 250-pound bruiser.
Should the big guy always get his way?

The Electoral College is a bit like handicapping a horse race.
