Woman And Blacks

[quote]do you suppose you'd have wanted to deny women and blacks rights during the civil rights movement?[/quote]
"No" to the point that I find something offensive about such a question in the first place.

Although extrinsic to this thread, I would remark that I don't consider democracy to be the ideal form of government so in a sense I would abolish voting in general if I had a say in such matters. But certainly in the context of a culture and government such as ours I would consider it quite wrong to deny voting rights to persons because of race or sex.

I sense you were not amused by my comment.

I wonder what would happen if we made it illegal for white men who made over half a million a year to vote... Or if felons could vote... Those would both be really interesting.
