One Idea

I was reading an article today which talks about what a great move it was to bring democracy to this country. Giving the right to vote to the masses who were different in every way different from each other was a monuental effort, wasn't it?
I beg to differ.
I believe people should "earn" the right to vote and reaching the age of 18 shouldn't be the only criteria. There should be a comprehensive screening mechanism to find out the people who would vote for an idea or principle and not biriyani and desi tharra
Am I advocating inequality? I don't know. I don't care. I know I am advocating merit. That's what the country needs the most now.

reminds me of the quote i read on the first page 'zen &...' "And what is good, Phaedrus, And what is not good — Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?"

If only we had perfect ppl running perfect screening process..
