Kaylah Should Get the Vote
Blacks. Women. Natives. It’s time for kids to get to vote. There is an injustice in Canada and elsewhere where intelligent, free-thinkers are unable to choose the way in which they are governed. For the moment, I’m probably under the mistaken belief that I came up with the idea on my own. But why is the age a factor when intelligence is not?
Suppose you needed money. Instead of say, going out and getting a job you instead, decided to sell your children into slavery. Should the kid get a say? Maybe? Well that’s what we’re doing when we run large government deficits. And that’s why we should give kids the vote.
Perhaps my example is a little extreme. But we are setting them up with a mortgage for a nice big house that we’ll live in until they’re old enough to start paying it down. And hey! We’ll give them some space until the stair well until they’re old enough for the master bedroom. But they might not even want this big house. They might like a little house that doesn’t have expensive heating bills or crippling property taxes. So maybe we should ask them.
That’s why kids should get a vote.

Ideally we’ll recognize corporations are individuals, and give them the right to vote – or fund politicians with no limit, just like Big Brother USA. I think it’s great, and I can’t wait until I can vote for heros of democracy such as Ford and BMW – http://www.theawfultruth.com/salbmw/
