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.
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.
