I think I'd better clarify what I had meant by my suggestion that "good"
parenting be used as a voting eligibility criteria.  I thought and still
think that "good" parenting, whatever that means would be as good a criteria
as any of the others suggested.  However, I do not believe in such criteria
as I pointed out in my flame and I my intention was simply to point out how
much I disagree with the ideas that have been put forth, because they are
so narrow-minded.  Using quality of parenting as an eligibility criteria is
as bad as all the other possibilities, because it is discriminative against
people who do not have children, and like the others is a highly subjective
concept.
