Please Don't Vote

Voter Turnout
Everyone from P. Diddley to Madonna is arguing that we need to “get out the vote.” Felons, senile senior citizens, ignorant teenagers, everyone has a duty to vote “or die” as P. Diddley so curiously puts it.
I would like to propose another notion. Too many people vote. People who do not follow the news, people who do not know the first thing about Kerry or Bush, people who do not know the first thing about politics. People who are serial criminals. People who are not citizens and who should not have been allowed to register. People who can barely read.
Why should an ignoramus vote? If you don’t know anything about the election, stay home, take drugs, watch MTV, but don’t inflict your abysmal ignorance upon the rest of the population, please.
Hollywood, are you listening?

I agree, only Christian white males with property should have the right to select representatives. The founding father's had it right. We should have the legistatures select the president becauses the masses make stupid uninformed emotional choices.
