Imagine if you were to go outside and walk amongst the teenagers already drinking and the middle aged worn down from lead in the air and water, almost all of them a carrier of some entirely preventable disease of some sort, almost all of them convicted of crimes that could have cost lives in different circumstance such as speeding in cars or assault, imagine for a moment how incredibly stupid the average person is.

Now imagine half of everyone is dumber than that. You want those people to take a stance on socioeconomic structure and foreign affairs decisionmaking? Really, truly?

I, personally, don't see all that much harm in a society where only about a third of adults vote, so long as those educated on issues are willing to vote.
