>So here we are with an exception to the grand general rule already No it's just a miscommunication about the original rule. I'm talking about people who haven't reproduced by the time they are 50 years old. These people have chosen to take their ball and go home from the game of life. That's their choice but it makes no sense to give them a say in the rules when they aren't playing. Do you think some 60 year old lesbian spinster should have a say in how your kids are educated or whether your country should get into a war that won't effect her? I don't. Also I agree with most of that article, which is basically why I don't care about the optics of stripping some people of the ability to vote.
