That whole disenfranchisement debate in 2000 worried me. It seemed like they wanted to use it to describe a missing vote for a presidential candidate. Well, there have been plenty of elections in which nobody on the ballot met my expectations, so I left off voting for some offices. I would be outraged if my "none of the above" vote should go to the losing party!
Gads, my English is deteriorating. Must be nap time.
Only those who wield arbitrary power can blithely declare the word "disenfranchise" inappropriate. Daily our faith in democracy is shaken as we watch the privileged few build collections across the couch and the entire living room carpet, while the truly deserving are barred from playing with so-called "inappropriate" dolls. Meanwhile the sanctity of one's candle collection is not protected even as some are allowed to claim rights to "my Small World song," and the potty-trained are not safe from the daily depredations of those still in diapers. "Disenfranchise?" That doesn't tell the half of it.
Is that you, Madman of Chu -- hiding, in craven fashion, behind the anonymous tag?
Never send to know for whom the bell tolls, Madman. It tolls for thee, my pinko, left-fielder heckling, Oh, Canada! singing, Lady or the Tiger reading, Kiwi baiting friend.
I hope Anon wasn't implying that the conservatives are "the privileged few." Check out the pro-drug Billionaires against Bush. (With a tip o' the hat to James Taranto of the WSJ.)
