However, Don, the copy I have at home is dog-eared, as is my copy of the AP Style Book. And my copy of a true classic, John O'Hayre's Gobbledygook has gotta go(USGPO, 1966). A quote:

It cannot be adhered to with any reasonable degree of intellectual or moral certainty that the inalienable right man possesses to exercise his political preferences by employing his vote in referendums is rooted in anything other than man's own nature, and is, therefore, properly called a natural right. To hole, for instance, that this natural right can be limited externally by making its exercise dependent on a prior condition of ownership of property is to wrongly suppose that man's natural right to vote is somehow more inherent in and more dependent on the property of man than it is on the nature of man. It is obvious that such belief is unreasonable, for it reverses the order of right intended by nature.

Now, this quote comes from the time of ol' Ben Franklin, who took and rewrote it this way:

To require propert of voters leads us to this dilemma: I own a jackass; I can vote. The jackass dies; I cannot vote. Therefore, the vote represents not me but the jackass.
