Ocelot - though you were no doubt speaking with tongue in cheek, I find it rather incredible that a person with a liberal bend such as yourself would advocate IQ tests for voting measure. Seems to me this could cause that "D" word to come up a little more often...you know "disenfranchisement." What about the African Americans who would suffer due to the European Male biased test? What about the Hispanics? I cannot believe a true liberal would state something so absolutely elitist as weighing votes based on IQ. Or would you give extra points for poignant life experiences, being a minority, having only one parent, etc.?
Votes weighted by IQ? That is an interesting concept. And which test are we going to use? What about that +/- 10 points factor? Are we going to give that test in English only, or Spanish, Chinese (all dialects), etc., etc. Have you ever read any studies on the relationship between IQ and success?
You might be interested. Maybe we should give weight to a person's income and productivity in society? That might be a more diverse crowd. Or maybe we should just leave it alone. However, if there is any way that the Democrats can get the election results changed via IQ testing, etc - I wouldn't be surprised.
