Voting lottery

[innerSpaceman]

And I think far too few people vote. I don't care if most of the world are morons ... the more people who vote, the better - says me.

It's always an election-time fantasy of mine to be so filthy, stinking rich that I arrange to hand every American a $20 bill in return for proof that they've voted.

So, yeah, I'm all in favor of the election lottery.

I've voted in every election I could since I was of age. I have proof somewhere. You owe me a lot of money.

I totally disagree with this. I've heard too many people make comments before like "Oh, I wouldn't vote for him because he is ugly". These are not the people I want choosing who they feel would be the best leader. I would prefer voters who are at least somewhat informed.

I think you underestimate the morons. The last thing we need is a good looking idiot running our government. How many voted for GW, simply because he lives on a ranch and is a good ol' boy? More than you might think.

But, look how well it's working out. Oh come on, you know you'd like to sit down and have a beer with him
