I must say, I wasn't expecting that last response... This leads me to the obvious question: What do you believe the criteria to be for determining who should have more of a say in government?

You may assume my comment was baseless, but your response doesn't particularly motivate me to further respond.
As to your question where I answered "no".
My three year-old has no say in our gov't and I am fine with that, and he is a citizen of the U.S.
In some states, felons can't vote, and I am fine with that, and they are still citizens of the U.S.
Someone locked in a padded cell, while still a citizen, probably doesn't have any say in our gov't.
Not every citizen has a say in our gov't, that really shouldn't be a shocking statement, in fact, its kinda obvious.
I am under the impression that if you are able to vote and still have all of your rights intact, then you have a say in our gov't. You don't have to be able to vote, but it helps.
