Can you even begin to imagine what man will come up with in 50yrs time?
In Australia on the TV last night,they were talking about the REALLY high percentage of School leavers who had difficulty reading and writing. Can you imagine them following any written instructions, particularly those relating to firearms? th_bi

Reminds me of a Constitutional Amendment I'd support:

In order to exercise the right to vote or possess firearms, a citizen, upon reaching the age of 18, must pass a test of basic literacy and common sense.

And who decides what the definition of these are? Basic literacy? "See Spot Run"? A Dan Brown novel? A NY Times article? "Calvin and Hobbes"? equally problematic is common sense.

I'd vote for a combination of calvin and hobbes, the simpsons and, idunno, maybe the recipe for rice krispie squares. That ought to disenfranchise the tea-farty loonies without inconveniencing the mainstream lunatics.

"See Spot Run" all by itself would be a HUGE step in the right direction.
