Does it really take a survey to figure that out?

[eCw56dzY]

My summary was better.

[Unwiseevove]

Scientists and technocrats should be made the iron fisted rulers of America.

Does it really take a survey to figure that out?

nope. even I'm smart enough to realize that.

Not everyone can be as smart as me. They cry themselves to sleep every night knowing they can't be me. It's a sad world.

[C7JjVczP]

no. We have a thing in america called the constitutions and more specifically amendments to the constitution that grant voting rights.

although we could just throw out the constitution...

[DonnyKong]

13, 14, or 15 amendment (can't remember which one . I think all of them deal with voting though.

[Adimonnna]

Well if there were no right to vote, it'd be very hard to fill the House of Representatives (which are to be chosen by the people) or the Senate (after the 17th Amendment)

[Liaptoono]

No. The constitution does not grant the right to vote. Show me where it does.

In addition to what's already been pointed out, try these:

Art. 1, Sec. 2
Art. 4, Sec. 4

The constitution states that you cannot restrict people from voting according to certain criteria (race, religion, etc...), but it doesn't guarantee the right to vote. Reread 15. The right to vote is explicitly mentioned, and it's impossible to restrict what does not exist. The right is a necessary prerequisite to the proscription against its being restricted, unless you want to argue that the amendment process was put to use just to insert a speculative or nonsensical statement into the nation's founding document.

the general public is brainwashed incredibly easily by the simplest of things handed down from the rulers at top. In our lifetime we have dramatic TV shows, isolated capitalisms instead of communal harmonies, and crazy religions. The public isn't stupid, they're misguided.

Even if scientists got all the power nothing would change. Nothing will ever change for the human race simply because we have the NEED for such things as currency, voting, and ego-games. A superior race would just... BE.

like the ants.

communal harmonies? Are you saying you support these?

You do know what happened with those 60's communes don't you?

[leijggigf]

That is right ladies and gentlemen. The populous is too stupid to know what it wants. Sheeple, follow the leader and do as Uncle Simon says.

...except for that whole throwing-the-Republican't-Party-out-of-office-in-the-last-election thingie. Sometimes even sheep rebell.

Can we restrict voting rights now? No. Voting rights arise, not from I.Q points, but from the God-given right of humans to control their own destinies.
