re: #521 Kruk

Yeah, that whole “universal sufferage” thing is such a drag. What socialist came up with the “All men are created equal” thing, anyway?

Yeah, it annoys me. I don’t want it changed, but it still annoys me. I agree with Churchill when he said that democracy is the worst form of government — except for all the others.

As I said, I’ve registered to vote at least five times. It’s incredibly easy. I think it’s just about the right level. I don’t want it any easier, and I’d cheerfully flog anyone who made it harder.

What was involved the last time you registered to vote, Kruk? How tough was it for you? Or did you have to be enticed/shamed/harangued into exercising your constitutional right?

Not voting is also a right and a choice. I know a lot of people who are proud of never voting. I don’t bother trying to change their minds.

I also have a few friends who I helped decide to take their franchise seriously, and never miss an election. I’m very proud of them.

Democracy is best preserved by an informed electorate.
