The civics test wouldn't be a bad idea, except now days, I don't that enough people could
actually pass the test, even if you set the minimum score at 70%. If you don't believe that,
watch the "Jaywalking" part of the Late Show with Jay Leno. He asks people some very simple
questions, and they fail horribly. It boils down to the simple fact that a good majority of
do not care anymore. Please understand that this is merely my opinion, because there are a lot
of people who do care to do their civic duty, and they try to make an informed and rational decision.
