Fred is the Man

Fred Reid is at it again. From his latest post, discussing the rationale behind universal suffrage in the United States:

"The second reason is that, in principle, the idiot vote will keep idiots from being maltreated by the bright.

Priceless stuff, vintage Fred. Not for the faint-hearted. Read the whole thing here.
