Richard Dreyfuss and Rupert Murdoch?

Notes from:

Richard Dreyfuss on the Miller Center Forums, says that patriotism right now is not voting. Could this be the shot in the arm that "NONE OF THE ABOVE" needs?

You don't let a doctor touch you until he has gone through medical school.

You don't pick a 747 pilot from the passenger list.

So why do you let an untrained, unenlightened citizenry vote and choose elected leaders?

Dreyfuss advocates teaching civics, a lost art of our public education process.

Reason logic clarity of thought critical thinking

Civility is not antique manners. It is the oxygen required for a functioning democracy. Without it, we die.
