Firstly Roger, welcome to the trinity squad. Don't worry about the
self-appointed guardians of MoQ orthodoxy. They have already mauled MoQ
far more than anything you, I or even Fintan have written.

"The Enlightened value the Truth", but our society values something else

Frankly, there are many
social defectives who should have their voting rights
removed for the sake of our society. Or perhaps we might
apply a weighting system to voting, so that if one has a proper
university education one gets 5 votes, whereas if one is an
uneducated black person from LA, one get only 1 vote.

We already have that system! It's called the FREE MARKET. People vote
with their feet - or rather, their wallets. The fatter your wallet, the
greater your influence.

The prime value in our society is the wallet.
