Amy,

just one question then:

prior to a presidential election, as we all know the program and issues of both candidates together with same of their parties receive extensive media carriage, right?

How much of that is dedicated to stem cell research and what that is all about??

Sorry, but the level of knowledge with the general population about the common issues at stake is no doubt a hell of a lot better covered up to any election than the esoteric field of stem cell research and applications.

You just cannot compare the two.

A "drivers license" to vote? I agree and then we also need a compulsory "drivers license to having children".

Just sitting in the airports waiting and watching how parents handle - or don't - their kids is an experience indeed.

1. put the voting system online
2. people must be presented with facts and data, before clicking "Next" to vote
3. people must pass a short quiz on their knowledge for the topic before they can click "Next" to vote
4. then they get to vote.


And how about adding in

5- A person's vote counts in proportion to the average amount of taxes he paid over the past five/ten years.
