19th Amendment: Bad idea?

[cmhbob]

EOs have been used since the 1860s at least. It'd be hard to put that genie back in the bottle.

Nobody has a God given right to vote. Our creator gave us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Voting is not a God given right. If it were, then any one of us could go to any of the other town and vote for their mayor or city council members. Or go to neighboring states and vote within their system for their state officers. And visa versa them coming to OK and voting for ours. Or Americans going to another country and voting in their elections. A child has the right to life, liberty and happiness, but absolutely no right to vote. On the other hand, when we travel abroad we are entitled to our lives, our liberty and our happiness. These rights are unalienable, meaning that they are ours by virtue of our humanity. They transcend imaginary, unseen boundaries drawn on maps. I realize that this stance may not be popular here, but I prefer to apply reason and logic to issues and not emotion.

Apply reason and Logic and Rights dont exist. Rights only come about if you have "rule of law" and are able to enforce "rule of law".

I started this thread in jest, you know. I thought it would be obvious.

I'm confused... Are we still pro-gun?

Yeah, sure, this is the premise the thing is based on. To hell with those Inalienable Rights that existed BEFORE laws.

This country started down the long slope at Numbah 11.

I heard this one before: How about attaching a value to your vote? The value is determined by how much you pay in income tax. Those that have the most invested get more "say". And those not contributing are silenced and sent to the corner!

Just sharing. Not part of Plissken's plan to save the country. But, flame suit on anyway!

as long as we can enforce the rule of law. Im pro gun, pro stick, pro fist, bite, scratch, kick, whatever it takes.
