#1 Once upon a time, people learned such things in 9th grade Civics class.

#2 I think we all should be born as residents, but have to take the same Civics test as foreign applicants and pass at 18 (or older) to be eligible to be a voting citizen.

#6 a la Heinlein, there are civilians and then there are citizens. Let me guess which one is Broke Baldwin.
(Yes, I misspelled her first name by accident but then I realized this is more correct!)

#7 Well then Brooke, how come we keep getting these Apparatchiks-for-Life"? It would seem the "Term Limits" would limit corruption and voter fraud. Not enough time to organize for either. Pols would tend to think there's no money in it.

#8 The question is, does Baldwin know she's wrong and she's just planting misinformation for her ignorant audience which can be corrected later (if anyone notices) after the election.

#9 Read Starship Troopers - lines it out quite clear. The director of the movie openly admits the movie was supposed to be a parody of the book.

In 9th grade, many of my prog peers were chanting great on Athenian Democracy over Republicans! Sounds crazy - to the educated, but it was a catchy phrase. Except, I knew the Dewey Decimal System and could look up such things. Turns out they were cheering for the exact opposite thing they were agitating for, because Catchphrase!
