re: #134 Renaissance_Man

I suggest a right to vote that is earned, a la Heinlein. Failing that, if voting is not earned, then it must be compulsory.

That is precisely what I meant by the community service and no right to vote without it. I think that was one of Heinlein’s most intriguing ideas. Voting is exercising coercion on your society. That is a privledge that must be earned through service, not abused as a right by those who only care for themselves.
