I was browsing through the Loyola College student newspaper today, checking to see if, by some miracle, there was a single article by an undergraduate that was something other than canned leftist pap. There wasn't. One article made the case for allowing convicted felons to vote. It had all the usual democracy-as-religion nonsense, drilled in to the young writer's brain by his nonsensical professors. But it struck me that there really is nothing that is especially obnoxious about convicted felons voting. This is because the act of voting itself makes one accomplice in crime -- the crime of legalized plunder, which is what government is all about. In other words, it makes you no better than your typical convicted felon. You become a part of the racket that denounces and punishes theft if it is done by one person (or a small gang), but absolutely worships it if it is done by a very large gang, a.k.a., the state. Voting is a felonious act.
