Just because it was written a long time ago doesn't make it necessarily relevant.
Quite the opposite, it was an idealistic opinion written in time spectacularly different from now. (now the world can end at the push of a button)
And that very statement contradicts itself. "Everybody is equal male and female, white or black or Hispanic or Asian..., intelligent or completely moronic"
That's not true in any other aspect of life is it? why should it be relevant in probably the most important?
We all will say "everybody is different" yet in the same breath say "we should treat everybody equally".

equalitiy is relevant. who is to say the government cant tell a group they cant do something? by your logic, most blacks wouldnt be allowed to vote.
the govt. should treat everyone equally. everyone should have the right to vote because everyone should be represented equally.
the key issue is representation. do you think the government should represent you more then someone dumb? if we make it by intelligence, a quarter of the country wouldnt be represented.
besides, only a fraction of us vote anyways and those that vote tent to be smarter then those that dont since they know how important their tight to vote is which, in my mind, makes them fairly smart( at least smart enough to vote).
