newsbone,
It seems to me that freedom is not a aspect of life that is highly valued to you. Which is ok, we just don't agree. Freedom is a high priority in my life, which means, I accept that others have the freedom to make choices that are contrary to my own.
Since freedom is not a priority to you, I can see why your forced voting idea would seem ideal to you. So you have the freedom to believe that forced voting is a good idea, and I also have the freedom to fight you tooth and nail, all the way if it ever becomes even a plausible reality.
Because: "Give people freedom, and some will make "unpopular" choices. And that's OK, because freedom means nothing if you're free only to do what others want you to do."
