Right about it being pointless argument.

Although I would agree if you want the right to vote you need to have all the responsibilities that come with it.

How many women would gladly relinquish the right to vote if their prospect was to head to Vietnam in the 60's? I bet it would have been nearly 90%.

The right to vote shouldn't be based on any class, I agree with you on that. I think it needs to be restricted to people who serve in the military or local police, net tax payers, etc. If you're receiving benefits you shouldn't have a vote. If you're unwilling to die for your country you shouldn't have a say in sending others to die for it. Merit based voting is the way a new government should be molded.

I can agree with you on that, the opportunity to vote should be exclusive to those with the greatest responsibilities in a society, regardless of sex, race or background.
