Superb writeup Parakram. While I'll confess that I read this piece rather hastily, I must say that I'm simply impressed by your writing prowess and the powers of articulation. Keep it up, its persuasive.
About them voting rights, while I believe that it meets the bare minimum, there's still a long way to go to ensure that every vote is worth its weight in a great democracy. Why isn't Presidential voting day a national holiday, the Luddite gerrymandering rules, and the antiquated electoral college do a major disservice to our great constitution? We should always, always push for a more perfect union, and iron out the kinks that exist in the current archaic rules.
Keep it up. I expect more such gems from you on your blog.
