re: "here is what troubles me most about these kinds of people."
What troubles me most is that they're allowed to vote.
Unfortunately, although half of the population has an IQ below 100, EVERYONE is allowed to vote.
That's disturbing.
When I consider that I know virtually no one with an IQ below 100 (well, perhaps one guy on the FFFT board), but understand that they are there and voting, it's a wonder to me that the country still functions at all.
The vote needs to have a qualification round. A pre-vote test. I hardly care what the topic is, but something has got to be done to keep decisions from being made by complete morons.
BTW, before anyone gets riled up, I want to note that this is intended to be non-partisan. Why would ANY thinking person believe it's a good idea to let dolts vote?
I half expect someone here to object that whoever controls the test would influence who votes. Yes, that's a concern. Controls to keep that from happening would be needed, but it wouldn't be difficult to come up with a few.
