I get your point, Larry, and of course you are correct, but I was thinking more along the lines of a privilege being something that not everyone has, rather than the strict legal definitions.

Off topic a bit, are employers in the US required to give employees time off to vote?

      - OK, $10.00. The whole process will cost $55.00 (not counting personal transportation and fax charges) and take at least a month. (n/t) - Mary Anne - 11/11/2004 1:29:49 AM
    - $20.00 - Mary Anne - 11/10/2004 10:53:50 PM
      - More like ten. - Tom Brosz - 11/11/2004 12:44:17 AM
        
        OK, so it's $10.00. - Mary Anne - 11/11/2004 1:21:31 AM
        
        I didn't say you had to pay in money. Maybe time. Maybe inconvenience. - Tom Brosz - 11/11/2004 2:22:36 AM
        
        We do that already. It's called "registering". - Mary Anne - 11/11/2004 1:17:33 PM
        
        That's an interesting idea... - Tom Brosz - 11/11/2004 9:43:53 PM
