Jamie, I get your point completely. Honeslty I agree, but to go even further, we need to educate people also. I volunteer locally for different events and organizations. The one thing that I have not seen is a class/course on politics. It would be awesome to a few professors, politicians, even normal people who know their stuff have educational seminars.

It could even be sponsored by local politicans, EVEN the damn parties!

I am going to get to work on this today, making an email to a contact now!

You are very correct sir, but you and I both know that there are older people who forget, many that don't care, and some that really never understood it in school. School is a pressure for many people. Many did not want to dissapoint thier parents, so they cheated their way to good grades, learning jack shit.

A community seminar/class or something of the sort will not be a pressure, and will slowly better America and honestly not cost us a lot.

I am not arguing that people should be hand fed information, hell its on the web EVERYWHERE. I do feel though that our education system can be supplemented through community involvement. I went to pretty decent schools growing up, made excellent grades, then went to college for 2 degrees. Honeslty, I gained a lot of knowledge through the after school programs that reinerated the classroom learning.

I am going to pitch this to some people and attempt to get a ball rolling.
