Hey, that was fun. Gee, I wonder how many American citizens within one year 
of the legal voting age would have voted for each candidate. We should also 
know how many legal voters are legally wacko. How about competent? Think 
about it. Bubba's vote based on who he thinks drinks the best brand of beer 
carries exactly as much weight as a lady with PhDs in political science, 
economics, and international relations and who donates all her salary to 
charity.

Maybe the founding fathers were on the right track when they considered 
land ownership as a criterion of voter eligibility.

Personally, I think Bubba should get two-fifths of a vote. Three-fifths if 
he drinks micro-brew.
