      Thing is if you take out the initial racism and sexism, you just get a government ran by landlords and real estate moguls… moreso than currently.

        What I was getting at was people with no grip on reality shouldn’t be allowed to vote on who runs the country. Of course, doing that is just as hard as the other social/moral issues we have.
