Can you come up with a reason why Govm't workers are allowed to vote?
Well, nic, perhaps on your planet (which I suspect is roughly the size of a football) government workers are some separate, enslaved species who don't mind sacrificing the same rights that everyone else enjoys in order to serve people as magnanimous and socially conscious as yourself.

On the planet where most of the rest of us live, there's this pesky little document called the constitution. Since you're clearly unfamiliar with this exotic artifact, you might want to read and ponder the significance of its 15th amendment, as a sort of get-to-know-us exercise.

Of course this is not to say it solves all our problems either. For instance most people believe that their votes actually matter, in spite of the fact that losers of the popular vote are sometimes put in office.


BTW, he almost had me fooled too RoBoBoy, but great, subtle, intellectual comedy writers like nic always give you a little key line, like:
