  1. We DO need better "history of Western Civilization," but one thing about these "obvious" questions is that there's SO much more to know, nowadays. It's increasingly difficult to be truly well-rounded. I feel that people are dumb as rocks, sometimes, and then they surprise the heck out of me with what they DO know. Dude doesn't know who Thomas Jefferson was, but he built his own 3D printer in the basement! That said, there should be some kind of "Citizen's Certificate" that certifies that you understand enough history and civics to vote responsibly. I just don't see it ever happening, and if it did, I can see it being used to exclude people. Maybe the rule ought to be "You've gotta put in more than you take out before you can vote." That would weed out the parasites and government employees, which would be a vast improvement over what we now have.
