1. Comment: I have long educated that people shouldn't be unconditionally encouraged to vote. Rather, they should be encouraged to vote if and only if they have a good understanding of the relevant election issues. They should also be encouraged to stay away from the polls if they do not have the time and/or inclination to be politically educated. This decision *must* remain with each potential voter to make for her or himself. However, I think these "everybody has a responsibility to vote" campaigns are bad. The PR message should be "vote responsibly or not at all."
2. Scolding: That remark about DUers being more intelligent is unsupported, probably unsupportable and insulting.
