“The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them knows anything about the subject." – Marcus Aurelius

The problem is how to make people care about being responsible, taking a long-term view, and doing the right thing. Everyone used to care. Now people feel so disconnected from the government that they feel no sense of responsibility. I don’t think that taking voting rights away is the answer (and I see no evidence that your average 30 year old is any less self-interested and apathetic than 18 year olds are). Somehow we have to get people back in the frame of mind that they ARE the government.
