Only the Educated Should Be Allowed to Vote
Stupid people should not vote. How can one argue otherwise? In a nation where everyone has an equal chance to make something of their life provided they are determined to do so, I say it is fundamentally wrong to award
the lazy or ignorant with the same rights as the hard worker and intellectual. That in of itself is a crime against democracy and a crime against intellect.

He added, "It's very important to remember the law is not what, not simply what, powerful people would want others to believe it is. The law is not what a general says it is. The law is not what Hillary Clinton says it is." - Julian Assange, WikiLeaks
