I have seen some appalling questions and answers concerning civics and government that indicate a lack of basic knowledge of the systems that govern our country. One person stated that if he were the head of the National Security Council, he'd arrest the President. Isn't it common knowledge that the President chairs the NSC? Others say that the President should be impeached for violating the Geneva Conventions. Anyone who makes this statement obviously knows little about impeachment or the Geneva Conventions. Does anyone else think that we need to educate or re-educate ourselves on how our government runs? Perhaps then we'd be able to have meaningful discussions and debates using facts as the basis of our arguement rather than emotion. This is not to get into the meaningless conservative vs liberal debates, it is a challenge for us to learn more so that we can be better informed citizens.

Civics is important and ought to study. and that i for one imagine that each and every individual toddlers should be up on cutting-edge activities. yet you're top, they many times are repeating what they the following, from adults, and are going alongside with their acquaintances. That immaturity is precisely the reason you won't be able to vote till you're of age.

Our kids are not learning much of anything because space travel, building bridges to nowhere, borrowing money from communist china, giving Haliburton more contracts, padding the pockets of our elected Representatives, I guess is more important than fixing our schools.
