Just remember that despite all the money we spend on education in the United States, almost half of our population is still below average.

Since even the easiest solution is not going to work as long as general public has to move its ass, so I got a perfect solution.
How about bringing election procedure to home?

We can put McCain, Obama, Palin and Biden in an isolated house, and rig that house with cameras. Yes, exactly. BIG BROTHER "THE PRESIDENT". If a candidate is going to do better in house stuff then he will get votes from viewers.

People just need to sit infront of TV, watch their favorite candidates 24/7, and vote. Easy, isn't it?

I have been telling that same lame joke for over 25 years and you would be amazed at how few people get the joke.

This is an instance where the enjoyment does not come from the joke, but the reaction of the audience.

Or lack of reaction since the audience has heard the same lame joke for over 25 years
