Looking for Asimov quote

by Mahna Mahna <mahna@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 25, 2007 at 01:00 AM

I'm looking for something that he said once, and I think it was in one of 
his editorials in the magazine.

But, he was lamenting the fact that our political system had gotten to the

point that it was being decided by the lowest common denominator and he 
opined that it might be good to give everyone one vote, but that you could

earn additional votes by passing a political awareness test, and maybe 
another one by getting a college degree, a higher degree might get another

one, etc., with a max cap that he suggested as 10, but just for the sake
of 
discussion.

However, he also opined that while he thought this might be more fair, it 
would be detrimental in that being an avowed liberal, his experience
showed 
that most well educated people were conservative.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
