I believe so because of most students turn voting age in twelfth and a maturity level to understand matters more deeply. My school is pretty good, but you know about 90 percent of schools don't worry about actually preparing people who can think through issues while leaning on their rights. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to work on memorizing the Consititution and Bill of Rights. I'm also going to work on understanding more of what is going on in Washington (aside from the overtly obvious).Sezmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788407585696655259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779369.post-1160538756256852432006-10-10T20:52:00.000-07:002006-10-10T20:52:00.000-07:00Why don't most people know about their rights?

Do they teach civics as a <I>mandatory</I> class in most schools these days?<BR/><BR/> I would put the study of the facets and mechanisms of the law and the lawmakers right next to reading, writing and arithmetic. Sadly, those things are also lacking. I hope teachers like yourself will reverse this. <BR/><BR/>I believe in life experience and self education. However, a person must know the truths and their consequences.<BR/><BR/> I was appalled at a recent proposition, to draw voters to the polls, by offering a cash jackpot to a winning voter. Do we really want a scratch ticket electorate? If you draw forth a person, who is completely uninterested, completely uninformed and motivated only by hedonistic probabilities, who will they vote for? They will vote for the give-me team, without thought.<BR/><BR/>That is not civic duty. That is civic booty.Insolubloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693379911278686634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779369.post-1160536734582120872006-10-10T20:18:00.000-07:002006-10-10T20:18:00.000-07:00Oh...and...I think my ignorance probably stems fro...Oh...and...I think my ignorance probably stems from a naive belief that blogs are a mix of entertainment and opinion expressed by people not on a payroll or financially supporting any campaign. I've also always thought the blogs that are seen as part of publciations, campaigns, politicians, and corporations were pseudo-blogs...because their opinions have been bought. Guess I am too logical for the government or something.Sezmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788407585696655259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779369.post-1160536528566978752006-10-10T20:15:00.000-07:002006-10-10T20:15:00.000-07:00I honestly didn't know about this impediment to fr...I honestly didn't know about this impediment to free speech. I feel so ignorant. Yet it is exactly why "that government which governs least, governs best." Sadly, I think that a lot of people do not know about the campaign reform rules. They also don't realize just how much the government is dictating their lives. <BR/><BR/>Once again, Insol, thanks for educating me.Sezmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788407585696655259noreply@blogger.com
