The Disingenuous Voting Fetish

I only value voting as a means to an ends — the right to vote turns out to be the best safeguard against losing peace, stability, and economic freedom.
That's an e-mailer on the National Review blog, The Corner, writing to Peter Robinson.

Taking this person at his or her word: do you think the right to vote is the "best safeguard against losing peace, stability, and economic freedom"? My career as a voter wasn't very long - I voted in the 2000 Presidential election and the 2003 Texas Constitutional amendment ballot - but my career as an eligible voter is significantly longer. Frankly, I see nothing but absolute declines in the degree of peace, stability, and economic freedom in the United States.
