I DISAGREE with the assumption behind the campaign to restore felons' right to vote. I think the real problem is that there are too many felonies. Felonies used to be serious crimes, involving a likelihood of capital punishment. Now pretty much any crime is likely to be a felony...

Jeez, he's right. Why didn't I think of that? I don't have any problem with taking voting rights away from, say, rapists and murderers.
