Now seriously. If you saw some stupid woman throw herself in front of some racehorses in the name of Women's Suffrage, wouldn't your first thought be, "Shit, is this the kind of nincompoop we want participating in the democratic process?"
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Democracy and the idea of a representative republic works just fine-- until you let every random yahoo out there vote.
Same with procreating. We'd all be better off if not everybody who was smart/drunk enough to put Tab A into Slot B actually did. But you all get mad when your Favorite SHoP Overlord Tio Jaime suggests things like mass sterilization or literacy tests. Even you Blue State Fuck-ups out there, who jump at any chance for the federal government to control part of our lives.
And that's the main thing. Our lives, not just your life. If you think that the federal government knows how to better use your money, then fine-- go ask the IRS for a higher tax rate. But please, for those of us who don't share your deluded sentiment, let us have our tax breaks.
Before you start complaining, allow me to state that the Republicans of late have not faithfully subscribed to the school of smaller, less intrusive government like we thought they did. And for this and other reasons, they lost the midterm elections of 2006. This is nothing new.
So what's the takeaway? Maybe the terrorists had it right all along and women shouldn't be allowed to vote. Except for Sandra Bullock's Nippy-Nips.
