Exceptional People Have An Exceptional Duty

Quote:

When today’s American lawmakers both refuse to even read the laws beforehand and live under those they pass, they must be held accountable by those who fearlessly live by Jesus' righteousness, and possess in themselves the moral authority to judge the actions of elected officials!

The reason our lawmakers make the dumbest laws. is because they are chosen by dumb people.

In Greece where democracy begun only the intelligent were allowed to vote.
They still had differences among them, but usually the better argument won.

In our system of democracy the person with the dumbest argument tends to win, because the majority of the voters are dumb.
I propose that at least a high school diploma be required to vote for local elections and a college degree for federal candidates. Yes it is elitist, but at least we will get good government.
